I finally stopped getting tangled in my own umbilical after switching to a different hose routing method

I used to always have my umbilical wrapped around my legs before I even hit 30 feet. Took me about 3 dives with a new setup where I clip the hose to my harness at a lower point on my waist instead of up near my chest. The difference was night and day for mobility and I haven't had a single tangle since. Anyone else mess with their hose routing to save time on a job?

Night and day for mobility" huh? I've been routing my hose up near my chest for years and never had a tangle problem. Maybe you're just moving around too much down there?

@park.tara maybe you just need to move less? Some of us like to actually roll around in our sleep without waking up tangled. Hose management is overrated anyway.
