VERY NICE!

I thought that I was pretty slick at putting together PCs...got started back when overclocking was the rage...but you have put me to shame. Very impressive, Don.

DB, that is very nice indeed

Sorry
In my first post of the question I said what gear I had and just thought most people with an opinion of hose length would know what I was talking about when I said I had an Air2 inflator on my BC (It has a built in regulator, so no octo needed) while there are some advantages to that , there are some disadvantages too that you had better understand and train for (one of which is the need to give your primary to your buddy in an OOA) ... so a longer hose would be helpful and would still be a good investment if/when I do get an octo in the future

Sorry DB, I missed you mentioning an AIR2.

I know what a ScubaPro AIR2 is and now understand the gravity of your problem. My bad for not reading that part. It creates some challenges for a few of our guys teaching OOA to new students, as one or two of the guys won't give theirs up.

Yup, I guess there's not much of a choice for you then other than a longer hose, unless you add a seperate secondary 2nd stage.

I think this is why D_B is looking for a little longer primary. In his case, if he were to need to share air he would pass off his primary and use the Air2 for himself. (The Air2 is an alterate air inflator, as I'm sure you know.) A standard length primary hose is just too short for this. Thus, his original question.

We haven't conviced him to dump the Air2...not yet, anyways!

Hey Stephen.

Yah, I missed him mentioning that he has an AIR2. I feel pretty silly now. LOL! I know a few guys that won't give their AIR2's up yet either.

 

[Wayward Son]

Why should they?

 

[D_B]

lol , My very first time OOA drill I tried to give my Air2 to the guy that came up to me signaling OOA ... oops ... All taken care of with practice, no problems now , and I make sure that others know what to do with my rig too

Umm , surprised that there's been no comment on what I drive ....
