Regulator configuration for rec diving

[scubadada]

What regulator configuration do you dive for rec diving?

I rec dive SM. One long hose, short hose reg on a necklace. My single tank set has a long hose and necklaced secondary.

Sorry, as usual, I left out sidemount

For single tank, single hose regulators:
40" hose primary routed under arm with an elbow at the second stage AND a necklaced second stage on a 22" hose.

For my double hose regulator I have the same 40" hose under my arm, but of course that becomes my donor, so it's fastened to a chest D ring with a pull away.

I see your edit, and I raise you one edit (the above is for backmount.)

Sorry, left out DH too, my apology. We're a pretty diverse group

Thank goodness you didn't mess up and put a comma after pretty.

When I dove a standard recreational setup. Under arm primary, necklaced backup.
Not much of a transition to sidemount.

Long hose has it's place. But in single tank recreational setup it is more of a nuisance than a benefit. If you find a benefit in a long hose, you are probably not in a recreational dive scene. And this is a question about recreational dive configuration, not advanced configuration. That thread is down the hall.

5’ primary, short hose bungeed secondary. Also a 40 cf pony when diving solo. I do NOT remove my bungeed second when solo diving.

Completely disagree my long hose has come in handy. In fact the only time I've used it was single tank diving. I don't find it a nuisance at all.

I disagree completely. I find the long hose primary & bungeed second the most streamlined and functional setup for recreational diving. It’s not a nuisance at all.
