Do you remove your 7' hose?

I always just use the 7' footer.

I want to change to a longer hose for main reg and put octo on necklace. My question is how does everyone route the 7 footer as apposed to the 5 foot? thanks for input on this.

I swap to a 5 footer for Caribean Vacations, and winter pool classes (it's what's on the student regs)

The rest of the time I use a 7 foot hose.

The 5 foot hose routes under the right arm and around the neck
The 7 footer routes straight down, under a cannister or tucked into the belt, then around the neck

Here's the scenario. Boat dive. 80 ft wreck dive. No penetration. No deco. Warm waters. Do you swap your 7' hose for a shorter hose or do you keep the 7' hose on? If you swap the hose, which length do you pick? If you don't swap, state reason.

No swap. Same basic setup for every dive regardless of singles or doubles, buddy or Han Solo. Hose always wrapped, never stuffed, even without canister light (which I don't always carry).

Keeping the same configuration lessens potential confusion.
