The original question was concerning what hoses go where? and I thought I'd answered that and given some reasons. Dave answered it and Adam has answered it too, with some more reasons. So why all the greif??
Somebody also asked "so to DIR you don't use your suit to fly the dive?" I assume you mean that the suit is not used for buoyancy. That's right, the primary buoyancy device is the wing. The dry suit is there to keep you dry! and is NOT "backup buoyancy".
So, if anybody still isn't clear on which hoses go where, ask away and I'm sure we can clear it up.
Incidentally, another reason for having the wing off the RHP is because it is beneficial to have hoses crossing behind your neck. This reduces stress on the hose ends and you can hear and "feel" gas flowing in the hoses touching your neck. Also, it enables the use of standard hoses (a wing hose coming from the LHP would need to be really short). Also, if we are all configured the same, we can swap gear without major hassle.
How many reasons do you want?  |
