So, as a (very) amateur photographer and videographer, I really like the idea of double hose regulators - mainly because of the fact that they exhaust behind your head, keeping bubbles out of your lenses and possibly allowing for a closer approach to fishy subjects.
The problem is, I don't really know what all is involved in making such a switch. I don't own my own tanks (I live in the Midwest where it just wouldn't make sense) so I always rent. This means I am usually using al80's since that seems to be most common amongst dive shops. Also, I dive a Hollis BP/W.
From what I've read in these forums, I know that you want your reg low - between your shoulder blades if possible. It seems that if I moved an al80 low enough to have the reg between my shoulder blades, I would never be able to get horizontal as my feet would always be pointed to the seabed! I tend to have heavy feet anyway so I can't see how this would work out.
Someone please tell me what I am missing!
