Why the long...................hose?

Suggesting that the divers in the OP, who have issues using their own gear, switch to gear they are not farmiliar with will solve their problem is within the straw man argument, as well. Regardless of the gear, sooner or later they need to learn to use it effectively.

I fully understand this statement. I recently bought my first bp/w and after playing around with positioning the harness and d rings finally took it it in the pool. I am glad I did that as it was a weird feeling.

I had a similar reaction to you reading the OP. To me, from reading the post, it seemed more like a matter of not having practised the air share procedure enough than wrong equipment. Even with a long hose set up, if you don't practise you will fail (in fact there are potentially more ways to fail such as snagging a hose)
