Miflex Xtreme LP Inflator Hoses
The Miflex Xtreme coloured hoses listed here are all Low Pressure (LP) BCD / Inflator / Jacket hoses. We offer premium quality, Italian made, double-braided Miflex Xtreme LP BCD/Inflator/Jacket hoses at world competitive, value for money prices.
The range of Miflex Xtreme Low Pressure (LP) BCD/Inflator/Jacket specialist scuba diving hoses is available in eight exciting colours, allowing divers to lead a more colourful life and personalise their equipment. The Miflex Xtreme Inflator hoses are available in a wide range of stock lengths, based on customer requests.
Choosing the Best Inflator Hose Length
Our most popular BCD/Inflator/Jacket hose lengths are 60 cm (24 inch) or 65 cm (26 inch) long. Some people prefer a shorter length of 56 cm (22 inch) for the shorter BC inflation assembly often found on back inflation wings.
Our most popular Dry Suit Inflator hose lengths are 81 cm (32 inch) and 90 cm (36 inch).
Hose length is measured in cm, from end to end of the hose, including the fittings and their threads.
The typical low-pressure BC inflator hose is a 3/8-inch UNF male at the end that screws into the first stage LP port, and at the other end is the Quick Disconnect BC female slide-lock Schrader valve fitting that accepts the standard BC inflator male QD post. The Miflex Xtreme inflator hoses use this setup, the most common design of inflator coupling used in scuba diving. If you require a different style of inflator fitting, please check our LP adaptor range.
BC integrated alternate air source — You can not use the standard BCD/inflator/jacket QD hose Schrader fitting to supply a BC integrated alternate air source, as the device would not receive enough gas due to the flow restriction of a standard Schrader fitting. However, it is possible to adapt a Miflex Regulator hose to the various integrated air source inflator posts used, but to avoid confusion we list the hose adapters separately.
12lb Reef
Wall Dive | 
Boat access
Depth: 8 m (26 ft) to 20 m (66 ft)
Level: Open Water and beyond.
12lb Reef is located on the Lonsdale Wall, inside Port Phillip. It was named after a massive crayfish that was caught there. The story goes that a cray diver caught site of the monster in its cave, and grabbed it. Maybe it's more accurate to say that the cray caught him! By the time he reached the surface, the two were still locked in a mortal struggle!
Nevertheless, there could well be more large crays still lurking here, so if you fancy your skills as a cray hunter it's definitely worth a look. The many overhangs and plentiful soft corals make this a popular and picturesque dive as well.
The Rip & Tides Warning: Always keep an eye on sea conditions throughout any shore or boat dive within "The Rip" (aka "The Heads"). This is a dangerous stretch of water, where Bass Straight meets Port Phillip, which has claimed many ships and lives. Please read the warnings on the web page diving-the-rip before diving or snorkelling this site.

Divers have the opportunity to catch Southern Rock Lobster (aka Crayfish) at this dive site. Remember your catch bag, current Victorian Recreational Fishing Licence, rock lobster measure, and cray tags. Once you get back to the dive boat, or shore, make sure you clip the tail and tag your Crayfish as per Fisheries requirements. Please abide by all current fishing regulations if you intend to catch crays. See article-catching-crayfish for practical cray hunting advice from The Scuba Doctor, plus melbourne-cray-dives for a list of other crayfish dive sites near Melbourne.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.
The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
