Really won't matter if he does or not. I'm discussing with the folks that are making the voit stuff and the yellow hoses about doing Voit green hoses as well as moutpieces in yellow, black and green. All in 100% silicone...I'm not knocking Stuarts hoses at all, It's just that all this fishing around and trying to beg borrow and steal to get a pair of hoses is just total BS...Plus when I'm done you wont have to worry if the hoses match the mouthpiece.....They will come from the same place at the same time from the same material. And I'll guarantee the prices will be way lower than the original prices on silicone hoses were....
Makes me feel bad because I got a pair of Stuart's yellow hoses the second I heard he was doing a 2nd run, didn't want to miss out again :lol: , and I did have to pay a fortune for them :x . On the other hand it's great to see all these fantastic high quality parts becoming available :D . Heck, not that long ago I would've been happy just to get a spair set of hoses, whatever quality they might've been.

Wow... I can see where all my spare change will be going for a while..

Capn, You better bring that old stuff to SD V with you as that box is rather tattered. Maybe you should give it to the rest of us so we could oh maybe start a fire with it or do something useful! :twisted:
First dives? 1967 and I never lost the fever.

Capn_tucker,

On behalf of the Great State of Florida and in an effort to ensure the safety of our Manatees, I will need to impound all of your Voit equipment for a test and evaluation period prior to it's use at SD-V. Anything found to be potentially hazardous (and I can assure you it will) shall be confiscated for your safety and the safety of our beloved Manatees.

This test and evaluation is provided free of charge as a public service for our visitors from Georgia. :wink: :lol:

You better let Joe try that thing out for you, make sure it is safe. You would not want to end up banned from Florida.
