G'day Scubafriends,
Wife and I are considering switching to the 'streamlined' setup (primary on longer hose, octo around neck). We just do OW/AOW, no cave/wreck diving.
I know people have a range of thoughts on the correct primary length anything from 40" (3 1/2 foot) through to 7' - we've had 4' suggested (fairly average height, 5'7-5'10ish).
So, with something like that, would it be recommended to get an elbow or swivel (and if so, which one)? For just the primary, or both?
And does the Octo move around in the water, bump into your neck/chin in current, anything like that?
