Buying regulator online

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Hello,
Not to seem dense but if I ordered a first and second regulator online, are the hoses already on there or do I have to buy the hoses also?

I was concerned about the hose thing, too.

All you need is a multi dive tool that is just some wrenches and some Allen wrenches.

It is so easy to do and I think it should be mandatory knowledge for every diver. If you can change a flat tire, you can put your hoses on. Just don't put them on TOO tight.

You'll need to check with the company, as it can vary. For instance, www.simplyscuba.com includes the hoses when purchasing first and second stages as a unit, but doesn't include them even on the same order when buying individual first and second stages.

That can be a good thing if you want to install custom hoses anytime soon.

Oxymoron? Only if you take it to the extreme and make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. My intent is along the lines of contingency planning and awareness.
