I picked up a 5ft long hose (it was a ok price) and I wrap it around my body as I have no ETA on a can light and haven't found a nice small cutting tool yet (letting the cash flow of new stuff calm down) to hold a 7ft on the right
I am 6'3" and built to match, the problem is that I feel that the 5ft hose is too small .. .is 7ft too long to attempt to safely wrap around my body is there a 6ft hose?
ideas? good place to pick up local hose that I can test out length on?

Re: long hose length issue
Yes, there are 6' hoses. With single tank open water diving, hose length (5', 6', or 7') doesn't matter. Go with what works best for you. I can see a 5' hose being too short for a 6'3" person.spudgunman wrote:I picked up a 5ft long hose (it was a ok price) and I wrap it around my body as I have no ETA on a can light and haven't found a nice small cutting tool yet (letting the cash flow of new stuff calm down) to hold a 7ft on the right

I think we have a 6' hose. I'll take a look. If we do, I'll bring it to the club dive Saturday for you to try.

Re: long hose length issue
if you can't find a 6', get a 7' and tuck the extra under your waist strap until you get a light.

Re: long hose length issue
don't bother with the 6' hose.
just get a 7' hose and tuck the excess in your waist belt. you can loop it under a can light later when you get one.

@BDub, I will still try the longer see how it swims unless you have a 7ft reasonable price let me know

I would just buy one and tuck it until you get a canister light. Its black, won't ever go outa style

Re: long hose length issue
I agree in the long run you're probably better off just going with a 7' hose, but if you want to try the 6' you're welcome to try it. It's Jeanna's single tank hose though (7' was too long) so I doubt she'd want to trade it
