I have a couple adjustments to make on my hose routing after watching your video
If you don't mind do one for sidemount thanks
I just purchased a doubles rig for the first time. This video is exactly what I needed. I’ve been a sidemount guy since the beginning on my tech training.
Do you dive twin AL80s in south Florida?
Glad to hear it's helpful! Don't write off a day with an instructor to really find tune things. I prefer double al80s in the ocean when I'm wetsuit diving so that's what I primarily use for South Florida
I've recently came across your channel and have binged your videos. Great explanations as always.
One question though, for the back-up reg, would 18 inches not be very short? I know for GUE, they recommend a 22 - 24 inch hose. I use a 22" hose and am considering switching it to a 24" as it's just a bit too uncomfortable to look to the left whilst sharing gas. I couldn't imagine using an 18" hose! Although that's for a non 5th port reg to be fair.
Thanks! 18 can work in certain situations but you're right and I missed adding that with standard regs you sometimes have to increase the short hose and LPI lengths. Too short is definitely uncomfortable but too long or too fancy (swivels and elbows) are typically the issue I see where people have trouble accessing their reg.
