Cutting a Divers Hose

[scubatoys]

I've seen people ask, "How long would it take to drain a tank if someone cut your hose?" And which hose?? High pressure or low pressure?? Which will make it drain faster?

I had to come up with the answer - so we made a video:

Very good

I would think that which kind of 1st stage you used would make a big difference too.

That is classic! Just curious if Tom Cruise was consulted or insulted?

I little long lived, but it illustrates the point nicely. I think there is a chart for the drain times in one of the TDI technical diving manuals. A really high IP regulator, think Poseidon, would drain more quickly as they are designed to deliver more gas.

That’s was good, I would never have guessed that it would work out that way. But now that I think about it, it makes sense.

Note that this is depth dependent...

Please can I cut your hose at 300 feet?
