Streamlined or not?

That's just something more to mess with while diving.

How much do you really have to mess with?

Put the mouthpiece in a bungee around your neck. Use the bottom vent to dump.

As for the OP, it's fine. If you really want to reduce the dangle, maybe clip the spg to the right side chest D-ring once you are in the water?

I should have figured you would answer since you were the one to point out my dangly bits. That is a good idea..I was thinking last night maybe a retractor style clip hooked to my upper D ring. Keeps it in close to my body and I can still pull it away to vent. On a side note I will be getting rid of the Air2 once I have more money and can pick up an octo (Deep 6 of course) I put my gear on last night to do some dry drills and again noticed how it wants to pull out of my mouth.

Thanks for the suggestions my friend.

Can integrated inflators be fitted with a longer hose to address this? Source?
Thx

I was going to say the same thing, as it's pretty basic especially with practice, but I think Marie has said she typically dives with a pony so I could see how that could make it more to mess with. I've never dove a pony so I can't say from first hand experience

The spg is always clipped on my left chest D-ring. Other idea is none of my business.

+1 on left chest

I put spq at left hip initially, I could not read the spg while clipping to the hip d ring (maybe the hose too short?)
later change to left chest, just look down and I can read the spg
save the "unclip-read-clip" thing, plus I free my hand
