| Imported post Dom,
Out here in Saudi long hoses are rare so the few of us who dive them get asked this question quite often. (Most diving is with single 12s)
I find that a simple demo is worth a thousand words so I usually hand them my second stage duck my head and take a step back to deploy the long hose and say "Now imagine we are underwater, how much more freedom do we have compared with using an octopus?" Most are impressed.
