my hose is too long

[Scu-bamboo]

my BCD conector hose is far too long, so when it is attached, it pops up really high of my shoulder... it dosent really affect my diving, just its really starting to annoy me.

can you buy smaller ones or are they all one size?

Thanks

you can buy shorter ones. Just make sure it has the right attachment. Some are subtley different

[Scu-bamboo]

thanks!
What sort of price am i looking at for one?

[drunkdiver]

If you've got a Buddy jacket this will work fine but if you don't have a Buddy Jacket then the inflator end of the hose may well not work with the 'industry standard' type of connector.

Fortunately the ap valves hose end (the bit that screws into the first stage) is universal and you can cut any lp hose to the desired length and finish it off with the ap fitting. I think the fittings are available on their own so you don't need to buy the whole ap hose.
