Uh, no. I have so many hoses I could outfit the Navy.But it looks like somebody snatched all of your corrugated hoses!
I know one thing you don’t have, a MK2 Ti evo.Uh, no. I have so many hoses I could outfit the Navy.
It was some 20 plus years ago now I guess, seems like yesterday. I was diving the jetty at Panama City with my 58 Mistral. The hose split and I gulped down some seawater. I drug myself ashore laying there contemplating my sorry state in tears beyond being consoled to life with a stinking single hose regulator*. My last old rotten hose had gone and split on me and I had no more and no more were to be had . I decided to make some dang hoses myself and began calling various mold companies and rubber casting places and by chance a gent I was speaking to told me sure, we can do that. But you might want to talk to this other fellow who we make hoses for exactly like you describe!!!!!!!! Turns out it was VSS. Why spend $$$$ when somebody is already making them! So I ordered a few sets and then along comes VDH and I ordered some more hoses and then there was the fellow in jolly old England and I ordered some more hoses and then VSS came out with exact copy neoprene hoses in colors and I ordered some more hoses and then VDH came out with silicone hoses so I ordered yet some more hoses and then another fellow at the TSM came out with some more color hoses I did not already have and so I ordered some more hoses and when I found out that VSS might not have neoprene hoses anymore I ordered some more hoses. So, it is like this, I got the hoses . Enough to never need to sit on the beach crying tears with a split rotten hose dangling from my DHR ever again.
*Uh, let me say, I had not yet discovered that the G250 is the best regulator ever even if it does not have double hoses . So now I have all these stinking DHRs and all I dive are G250s on Mark 2 Evos.
Yesssss, now that’s a collection, my Friend. B T W, who ‘drew ‘ ser. # 1 ?? ( …’I’ know who… lives in ‘Upstate N Y…) . I almost bought another he was selling at WSQ in August.( I don’t travel w/that much ‘$’ at a time.)
I agree…you ‘stick’ with what you like. Yes, for a good ( actually ‘Great’ reg…to me anyway..) I still go for my tried and true DACOR SHRs. ….I kinda resemble an overstuffed Seatec BCD ‘sandwich’ Either Oly 400 or Pacer 650XL.Uh, no. I have so many hoses I could outfit the Navy.
