Still getting used to sidemounting. Though, during the last 2 dives I had, I feel more and more like at home.
First question, the 1st stage. When you are horizontal, does your 1st stage look up from the tank valve or look down? Mine is looking down. I've been told that it should be that way but I need to know why. To me it seems there will be risk of hitting it more.
Second question. I've seen some pictures where SPG does not point like an antenna up but goes down and under the arm pit. Does anyone have experience with this? How do you check the pressure, seems inconvenient. Does it help some narrow entries?
