Thank you for the advice, unlike others who reply with some smartass remark despite being completely wrong about their assumptions. I just started diving a few weeks ago, but already working on my advanced. Living on okinawa there are dozens of dive sites within a 30 min drive away. Interesting info about the double hose - I thought that was only old school. Would eliminate the annoying noise of the bubbles across your ears as well.
I had to change the exhaust tee on a new second I purchased because I too am annoyed bubbles in the wrong place. I don't care to restrict my position because of my regulator second.
As for double hose regulators, visit Vintage Double Hose online. You can get upgraded old units or the new Kraken. I started on a Nemrod double hose and still use it occasionally. They are a bit quirky compared to single hose rigs, but are fine once you get used to them.
