Another option that you might want to consider is getting a long hose that is shorter that stays out of the way without having to tuck it under or into anything. I have tried 5ft, 6ft, and 7ft hoses before settling on one. 5 ft was too short. 7 ft I gave up on as I don't always dive with my canister and I steadfastly avoid having to reconfigure anything dive to dive -- so moving a knife or shears on and off was not an option for me. The 6 footer I find to be perfect. Hose is out of the way without a need to tuck or stuff it. FifthD has 6 ft hoses.
