Phat, what second stages are you using and why is he concerned about restrictions? What hose routing are you using?
Couple of options, when you're in a restriction, make sure you're on your long hose. That's pretty simple to do, just breathe the shorty in open water and adjust your gas switching. Alternatively, depending on the look of your exhaust T-'s, there are some options for that.
What method of DIR bungee keeper did you use? For your long hose you can make a simple loop that goes around the mouthpiece and you can pop it out that way....
WRT your instructor saying he wouldn't dive with you if you had it tied in, most of the sidemount guys I know have them tied on, including instructors
