Why not two 7ft hoses when sidemount diving

[tursiops]

Please. Have you tried it or not? It's one thing to try a protocol and not like it. It's quite another to not have and suspect that you wouldn't like it. It's quite another to say I'm being unsafe in how I dive and then expect me not to respond.

We all dive differently. We can disparage each other for these differences or learn from them. I've met many divers discount how others dive simply because they haven't tried it. When BP&Wings first showed up on SB, it was a fervent "noooooooooo, they are too complicated." Now the tide has turned and buying anything but a BP&Wing is a horrible mistake. Teaching on your knees was "impossible" to some and now it's lauded and maybe too much. I can't count how many people have chimed in on how terrible this or that piece of gear was, only to find out they've never touched it. So, I think if your going to cast aspersions on my choice, you should tell us if you've tried it or not. Isn't that only fair?

I've made my points, you've made yours. Let's leave it there. It is not a contest.

It is not a contest.

But you'd win. Your hose is longer

Somebody I know VERY well says that is not important. Good thing!
