Dive Computer Question

[Samuelmorris117]

I am getting a Suunto Dive computer for Christmas. It came with a transmitter but with all the other hoses it looks like it won't go on without some kind of extension on my 1st stage. Is this possible??? I will check with my LDC but I just wanted a second opinion. Don't want to have to replace anything I currently own.

What reg set do you have?

I have the ports but the size of the transmitter will hit the other hoses, I was thinking a extender of some sort

Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you find a solution

What model Aqualung regulator? I can't imagine there is a hose problem with all the current models, so maybe it is an older one? Note the transmitter goes in the HP port, which is opposite from where you have your dive computer attached...at least that's what I'm guessing a "S4 dive computer" is.

If all else fails, you can get a "port extender" like this. But it is a last resort, because it makes the transmitter even easier to knock off than it already is!

I would suggest that you put your transmitter on a 6" HP hose like this: Double Braided Flexible Hoses for SCUBA - Dive Gear Express

That way it does not accidentally become a "handle".

Don't want to get rid of my S4 just yet. And yes it's pre Aqualung. But it has 6 ports. 4LP,2HP may have to move my Alt reg hose to make room. But its good to know the extender is available. Thanks for the info.

+1 on the 6-8 inch hose extention and a velcro strap to keep it near the tank strap gets it closer to the reciver and out of entanglement danger

When I was using air integration with my Vyper Air on my Aqua Lung Legend I had to make sure I used an inflator hose with a short crimp else the tolerance was too close to allow the tramsmitter to tighten up. Coinsidently that inflator hose came from a Sea Quest (Aqua Lung) BC.
Had I not had the hose laying around I was planning on purchasing a short HP hose and tying the reciever to another hose.
