Stowing the long hose when back on the boat

[mruseless]

I've done some searches but only found info on hose routing on the body, which I'm familiar with.

So I thought I'd ask the question, how do you keep your long hose out of the way once you are back on the boat? I've been sort of just looping and stuffing it into the shoulder harness. I tried coiling it and using the reg and boltsnap to keep it coiled and clipped, but I couldn't really get this to work.

Would anyone be willing to provide a picture of your method?

loop the long hose around the tank neck or isolator?

I have been on a live aboard on a small boat (sun diver) where the entire boat are GUE divers, ~20. So we had 20 long hoses. Yes, it was a very crowded boat, I didn't remember we have any issue with long hoses

Agreed, just a couple loops around ISO or tank valve.

Double sided Velcro works for this. Hook on one side loop on the other almost as useful as duct tape on a dive boat.

most people just clip the hose off to a shoulder harness.

I coil mine then pass the reg through the coil and clip it off to the shoulder d-ring. No problems with it coming undone, nice and tidy. Prior to doing it this way I just looped it over the isolator then clipped it off - that worked fine too

I do what Jack does if it is going to be sitting around for a while, otherwise it gets looped up and over the manifold and clipped to the shoulder.

Thanks everyone. I always clip it off, since I don't want it getting stepped on or sat on. The loop of hose hasn't really been a "problem", it's just more of a nuisance and I'll try the ways described.

If I'm going to dive again immediately, I clip the reg off to the right chest d-ring, and just hang the excess hose from the first stage. If we're headed back, I coil the long hose and pass the boltsnap through the loop and clip it off. That keeps the hose neat and tight and out of the way.
