10 feet hose it actually a standard if I remember for tech divers. I love the length of the hose. If I ever have to pass it off to another diver we have enough room to keep us apart. A lot of lobster divers use the long hoses as well. They will actually take off their tank to get into those hard to reach holes. Anyways it has worked well for me. I had the same problem as the diver in the photograph.

7' is the most common length for tech divers, with 5-5.5 for ow water applications.

lobster divers, otoh, will use anywhere from surface supplied to 0 (drop reg, swim in, swim out hopefully).  Dunno - it's a lot of work for something I like slightly less than dungeness crab or scallops.
