shark_tamer:Ok, so I guess the theory of once around the chest, over the shoulder is the best solution !!!
But there are a couple of things that bug me while I read your answers !!!!
- I have my secondary on my chest, just below my chin, on a surgical hose .... I know that an OOA diver will probably go for my reg ... so my secondary is right there for me to grab !!!
- But insn't the main purpose of a 7' hose for OOA assistance in cave or wreck diving, whenever 2 divers cannot go thru a small oppening. One goes on front of the other !!!
I'm not getting a 7' hose to show off my gear and being the better equipped diver on the boat !!!
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not mad or anything but if a diver is in need of assistance, should I be concerned about how I will be having problem rerouting my hose after assisting that particular diver ??
So far I haven't done deep dives with deco stops ... deepest dive was 33 meters ....
Maybe then will I understand what you mean !!!!
I don't want to be a good diver ... I want to be an excellent diver !!!
Hi Shark-Tamer;
You might get better responses if you got on a more suitable thread. Youre in the Public Safety Diver section. Im sure a few use long hoses but for the majority we dont. They can cause more problems than they solve in our business. Getting in the proper section may get you much more information.
Please dont get me wrong, Im not telling you to go somewhere else because you are welcome here. Im just saying you can get much more information in another section.
Our long hoses are in the hundreds of feet and not restricted to 7.
Good luck
Gary D.
