Got a dumb question

[ScubaCatgirl]

I've been reading the threads on the Save a Dive Kits & have noticed that almost everyone mentions surgical tubing. Can someone tell me what this is used for?

 

[BIGG_BUDD]

Bungee for backup reg or necklace for alternate reg.

You can use it to replace a broken wire tie for all sorts of needs.

Ok, now I feel really stupid....can you spell it out for me? I'm thinking bungee cord & lost on the necklace. Do you mean the surgical tubing is a replacement for the hose?

 

[Lake Mead Tony]

slexable 3/16 tubing that acts like a bungee cord.

 

[Lake Mead Tony]

I ment Flexable (misspelled sorry)

A lot of divers use one to secure the primary reg around the neck. I don't like that idea.

I'm not surprised.

It's used to secure the BACKUP reg around the neck, instead of dragging it all over God's creation, or clipping it off somewhere where you can't get to it if needed.

Ahhhhh, now I understand. (lightbulb goes off, lol). Tony, I'm with you. I don't like the idea of wrapping around the neck either. I'd much rather have extra octo holders around.

Thanks for explaining it to me :10:
