Anyway in order to continue with my reputation of contributory renown I will start at the other end

and suggest with a photo that it is best to stay away from flippy floppy hoses with fittings like this

Dude, boss
Given the way you lot have, and continue to butcher the English language, almost on a par with the British
I suggest that to attain my exalted level of grade 3 your schools must start somewhere in grade negative 9
:D:D:D
with due respect
 
What your PADI and SDI instructors et al don't tell you is that your HP hose made by a company called Mirflex is a company better known for toilet hose and washing machine hose as stated I earlier and an uncomfortable reminder to some of facts that they don't like young divers knowing about.


Further the Mirflex recall of breathing interstage hose so popular with the recreational masses which incidentally was also a Mirflex product and another the made for profit piece of short life garbage for the scuba shops can be found here:

And if that's not enough the Mirflex high pressure hose recall can be found here.
from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission



So that's one company who brand names stuff for many of your scuba retail suppliers and with multiple government recalls on both the high pressure and low interstage pressure hoses they supply.

Then we have as another example from the OP. This hose is manufactured from the likes of China and in this case Taiwan to to pathetic claimed so called standard of EN250. Now older divers will tell you that rubber hose is better when in fact that position was only met when divers hose was made in America by the well respected Gates Rubber company to the recognised standard SAE100 R3 to which the hose in this post is clearly not.
If you are going to bitch about something, at least spell it right. It is Miflex, not Mirflex. Duh.

ROFL Mirflex as in "In the Mire" is a simplistic play on words clearly wasted on you.
But for the benefit of others:

Take any online dictionary of your choice and read the polite explanation:
"Ensnared or entangled in a situation that is not ideal or desirable and from which escape or improvement is difficult or unlikely". In the mud, in the mire.

I did want to use the British alternative and call it Sh*tflex

But not wishing to cause alarm or distress to your sensitive soul. You understand. :banghead:
 
I may not agree with you on lots of things but I really appreciate that you do what you do on a "not for profit" basis. I don't know what you live on.
They say: "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word the proceeds from the mouth of God"

Turns out It's a better option than robbing banks.
