Battles, In the pics the pouch is definately below the bag. Are you saying the way you wear it is to push it up behind your back when you put on the plate?
I have a H storage pouch and its ugly to remove a bag while in midwater with a drysuit, dry gloves and all that. The 4.5ft closed SMB fits nicely in my left pocket though. Gotta shoot anything really big from deeep
Well, it hangs maybe 3 inches below the plate, but it is still sandwiched between my lower back and the tanks. it doesn't stick out anywhere and would never be exposed as an entabglement hazard. I'll have to see if I can get some pics of it underwater and you will see what I mean. I will most likely keep my bag in my pocket when diving dry, but diving wet I have been wearing it on the plate. Super-clean in my opinion and if you leave the small d-ring at the end of the bag exposed and close the velcro around it, its just a quick pull to deploy it. I'm a newbie at this stuff so maybe I'm just missing something.
My personal opinion is that its not much of an entanglement hazard. But at least in the pics looks like its in the way of the butt dump cord.
I suppose. I'll ask Ed on Friday and see what he thinks I think I know what answer he'll give me though.

I would like to say that the matter here is not only do the new stuff in controlled situation, I think that the big mistake on to this is that you used a lift bag as a surface marker and it is definetly not the same, a lift bag as it's name says is for lift and never gonna be a good idea to deploy it on any deth.
I use to deploy a 20 lift surface marker sausage at 50 with a spool, and you can perfectly handle it on strong currents
by the way, I really agree that having the smb on the pouch is definetly comfortable that on a backplate bag, plus you can dump the 8 bolts and the bag making a cleaner rig
