"Hey Brian, to best answer your questions you must answer other questions, - do I have an idea what my dive profiles will look like? My SAC rate is? - do I dive wet or dry, or both? - do I need lots of lead when I dive? - will I have to walk long…"

Advice on buying twin tanks

I'm looking to get a set of doubles for diving in SF Bay Area and would appreciate some guidance. I currently have two XS HP Steal 100s and one AL 80 but would probably leave them as singles since doubles would be overkill for most of my fun dives with friends or Reef Check surveys. Don gave me the awesome advice of the steel 100s for single tank diving which has since converted many and the rest simply covet. A few questions / room for comments:* Recommendations on size, steel vs al, hp vs lp…See More

Don Chennavasin replied to Brian Sullivan's discussion 22 vs 24" Reg hose

"This is a good point that wasn't mentioned before. You want to be able to look left. Same as when tucking away the long hose. Look left while stowing to allow for full head movement. "

Don Chennavasin replied to Brian Sullivan's discussion 22 vs 24" Reg hose

"Hose length typically depends on two things (1) singles vs double and (2) regulator. I find that 22" hose works well for singles and Mk20/25 1st doubles in doubles. 24" hoses are used for diaphragm regulators (Apeks, Zeagles,…"

22 vs 24" Reg hose

I'm converting my brother's reg to a long hose configuration and have found varying advice on the hose length of the necklaced reg. Some say 22" some say 24". The UTD equipment config section recommends 24, but it is shown with a set of doubles. For a single tank config, is 22 generally long enough?Thanks,brianSee More
