Long hose routing

[Warren_L]

So is this what we are debating about? The long hose running between the tank and the wing? On my rig, the way I have my DS4 set up, it wouldn't be as clean running the long hose over the wing, but is there any real reason to do otherwise given how the long hose is positioned on the DS4? Or is this not the best way to do it? Inquiring minds want to know.....

I know it's hard to see the first stage, but at least you left a nice big loop for the grapling hook to catch. and I know you don't dive overhead so you don't have to worry about breaking off a LP hose and running for the surface. Thanks for the picture

Nice picture, streamlined and you can get to all the valve handles for shut down

Is that a red pony bottle that you have mounted on your right? Hard to tell what it is in the picture.

No, that's my tank. It's an Al 80. The first stage is a little bit lost in the bubbles.

There's a view from the other side of my terrible trim at http://www.jonnythan.com/pictures/kingston_09-12-04/img_1340.html

And another from the right side at http://www.jonnythan.com/pictures/kingston_09-12-04/img_1337.html

The long hose is looped and shoved into the waist strap. I have a can light there now.

Gotcha. It was hard with the first photo to tell. I would have been surprised if you had a pony that wasn't a slung deco...

What he's not telling you Jonny is that to OE2X, an AL80 IS a pony bottle ... for that matter, so is an E8-119 ...

Nice pics, BTW ...

Anything less than a 130 or two may as well be spare air...
