Any idea why Jacques Cousteau has his double hose regulator in front?

With it placed that way exhaling takes effort, but it effectively "feeds" you air for the inhale. I don't remember the reference, but I heard he preferred those characteristics in his later years due to a lung condition.

I don't know the background on your image but the chest mounted "push-pull" regulator in the image below was used on the Conshelf III experimental saturation dive in 1965 at 102.4m/336'. It recycled HeO2 back in the habitat for reprocessing. Notice the supply and return hoses in his left hand.

WOB is probably a little better in this position but bubble management would suck.

... especially if you're using an old-school chromed brass reg (e.g., a U.S. Divers Conshelf XIV, a Scubapro 109/156, a metal Poseidon Cyklon, etc.) or a double hose reg.

She still needs a depth gauge, though.

And she needs to be cautioned about wearing shiny jewelry that might attract some fish (like barracuda).
