Tips: Hoses
Proper
hose length is an essential component of a safe and
comfortable diving rig. Primary hoses that are too short
present potentially uncomfortable and dangerous air-sharing
situations, while excess hose decreases the streamlining of
a rig and creates entanglement hazards.
By donating the long hose regulator from the mouth in an
out of air situation one guarantees that the person most in
need of a clean fully functioning regulator is going to get
it. The advantage of donating your long hose primary is
that you are always ready for this very real possibility.
You are, in essence, always prepared for any eventuality
rather than maintaining a fixed picture of how things
should operate.
