I've been using rental gear since I started diving, and the rental regs (oceanic) always had a swivel build into them. Using the swivel, I was able to get 3 hoses (con, octo, BC hose) over the left shoulder, and 1 hose (2nd stage) over the right.
I went ahead a bought a reg of my own, now (Mares mr12) and it does not have a swivel. I could still possible have 3 hoses coming over one shoulder, but if I do that the BC hose sticks up a few inches over my shoulder... No big deal, but it seems very clutter-y.
Should I have the BC-hose and octo coming to the left, and have the octo and primary coming over the right? Octo has an extra-long hose, so there's room to finagle.
What are people generally doing? Pics would be great
Thanks!
