I'm sure somebody has asked this question before, but I missed that thread. Sorry.
What exactly are those pinholes in HP hoses for? Some say that they're there to relieve over-pressurization, and yeah, tiny streams of bubbles occasionally do come out early in the dive. But aren't HP hoses rated up to 5000psi? They shouldn't have any trouble keeping 3000psi of air in, shouldn't they?
I don't mind having bubbles come out from my 1st stage or from my valve-1st stage interface, but I'm kind of paranoid about bubbles coming out from my hoses. Especially my HP hose.
