I already dive in a DIR/Hogarthian configuration for a long time, but I can’t help myself to still watch those kind of videos 😁

Great one ! 👍

[LordF]

This Video Series should be standard education Material of any Agency! Awesome!

[williamwhitlock]

Another incredibly informative video. Thank you so much for these. Safe dives……

[albertokusmic]

You guys are undoubtedly Masters! Very well done and thanks for sharing 👌

When attaching LP hoses to second stages use two spanners with one just holding the second stage side still, because it is very easy to accidentally rotate the barrel inside the second stage and bend components. I know in Scubapro and Halcyon second stages they seem to rotate easily so it is definitely necessary with them.

Of course, only slightly tighter than finger tight is all you need so you need to be careful when using two spanners because it's easy to apply too much force

Thank you so much for this! As someone who only started diving a year ago, I've been looking for this sort of video for a long time. You guys are awesome!

[warbringer]

This channel really is on another level of knowledge and complexity, you guys are awesome :)

[skydiverninetysix]

Great video once again. I will point out that many find the braided hoses too floaty to work well for the long hose, in addition to being uncomfortable on the neck if diving without a neck covering.

[tobypage]

Great info, looking forward to a dry suit video 😀🤞🏽🤞🏽

[hannesplanotscher]

Thank You guys - love your videos 😎❤️ - greetings from good old Germany👌

[arielrodilla]

Great video, thank you! Would you please make one that covers hose length and proper routing?

[wegothooked]

Brilliant once again, thanks for putting in the effort! I'm hoping you will cover different reg configurations such as for a twinset and sidemount

[SummersideDiver]

Thanks for another great video. And perfect timing, since I will be assembling my long hose regulator set very soon.

[Babmajom]

Great video, good tips again! I'm always learning something new from your content! Keep them coming 😍

[lichtfischen]

Very good video! I like that you really explain all the steps and show the big picture!

Can you make a video about why you recommend this configuration over the Octupus variant for scuba diving?

[wynigrooves]

Great video, as always!! You really make a better diver. I would suggest to attach the hose snapbolt with some sort of quick-release, just in case one has to deal with any kind of hectic when taking it off the d-ring.

[welland]

You guys are legends! I always check to see if have any new videos available. Where you guys are based from some training? Greetings from Spain ❤

[johnmaxwell]

What length is the short regulator hose? Thanks

[cheaplaffsarefree]

You're not using or lubricating O-rings between your LP hoses and second stages?

[Russianspyonyou]

What are the benefits of mounting the first stage upside down?
