    The product, in the report: Miflex XTREME-hi High Pressure Hose 6 inch

    I purchased 4 x 6 inch Miflex HP Hoses for my pressure gauges on my Apex diving regulators in a sidemount configuration on 7th March 2010 from Dive Gear Express in the US.

    6th of September 2011 Iwate Maru wreck near Rabaul PNG. Two 88 cubic foot scuba tanks in sidemount configuration. Time in 0834 time out 0925. Max depth 22m Average 16.2m Approx. 45 minutes into the dive at 16m near the mid section of the wreck I heard a very loud bang followed by a “bubble bath” of air from my right tank HP hose. I shut down the right tank valve and the supply of air to the regulator in my mouth, swapped over to the left tank regulator and signalled to my Dive Guide [REDACTED] at Kabaira Dive I was terminating the dive. I completed a safety stop and exited the water. This hose had been used on approx. 25 dives.

    8th September 2011. Horseshoe Reef, Atlikklikum Bay PNG. On entering the water at 0835 the hose on my left tank blew on the surface. Dive aborted and hoses removed from regulators for all future dives. This hose had been used on approx. 38 dives (hose taken off my nitrox dedicated regulator).

    I rang Miflex in the UK on return to Australia in September 2011 to try to prevent any injury to other divers using these hoses. I was horrified with their response and lack of concern for the divers relying on these hoses to sustain life. I can quote him off by heart: “Now don’t get me wrong but hoses do fail”. They told I needed to take it up with Dive Gear Express who sold me the hoses. The two blown hoses sent to DIve Gear Express and refunded promptly.
