novadiver:I would put two short hoses on it and be done, say a 24 for the primary and a22 for the backup. but we've been through this before haven't we
Yeah, most divers don't dive solo and want an air share to be somewhat comfortable. While 7 may be overkill your looking at somewhere around 36-40" inches at least. Honestly you have 3 choices that aren't a cluser.
36"-40", with elbow, under pit, into mouth
5'-6', under pit, around head and into mouth
6'-8', tucked into belt/under can light, acros chest, around head and into mouth
If you invent some other way to route a hose that dousn't involve some god awfull contortions I'd love to see it.
Going to put a right radius 180deg bend in the hose comeing off the first stage. Definatly not ideal, as this is the weakest part of the hose.What about routing your "longer" hose from the left side of the first stage and then behind your back and from the right to your mouth?
Right side of reg, behind neck into mouth? Hose length is going to be 20-24 inches give or take unless you have some sort of loop billowing out infrount of you.Or from the right post, under your neck, to the back and into the mouth?
