ok, I have a couple of questions about regs, hose routing, etc
I'm slowly getting my SM gear together. I will be diving a mexican style SM rig with drysuit.
I currently have a HOG D2 and a HOG D1 reg. I don't plan on buying another D1 unless it's absolutely necessary. I plan to put the D1 on the right side with the long hose so that I can use the swivel on the turret for long hose deployment. the D2 will be going on my left side.
Questions:
1) 1st Stages. Does it matter if the 1st stage are not the same? will I be unbalanced?
2) Hose routing. The right post is fairly easy. on the left side D2. how would I route the LPI and the Reg hose? I have the swivel at the end of the necklace. Is there a way that I can lay next to the tank and measure the length of the reg hose? I would like to buy it before I start my training. I get that the LPI will depend on the actual rig so I won't buy that one right away.
thanx!
edit: I went and weighted both 1st Stage. the D1 is 160 grams heavier.
