I only ask as I'm having problems keeping the hog loop taut whilst I dive - I don't have a cannister light and I am not a DIR diver, although I'm curious and interested - and the hose seems to have a tendency to ride up the body if you see what I mean. It doesn't get in the way it's just not very well streamlined.

If not how else could it be retained? It's a 2 metre hose if this helps.

Cheers,

Noel

A couple of options:

1 - Tuck the excess hose into the waist band
2 - Put a knife or a pocket on the harness where the lamp should go and route the hose under that.
