Not to hijack the post but has that ever happened? I know people say it a lot, and it is de rigeur as part of technical training, but I just cannot ever envisage a situation where the mechanics are such that one could bump the ceiling of a cave so often that something as stiff as a manifold would rotate three full circuits and close.

Valéry;5723640:I found it very stupid to clip the spg on your left hip d ring and to clip and clip each time you want to check your gaz level. I never put it there, instead I clip it on the left shoulder d ring, this way I just have to look down to check my spg without even touching it.
Now that was impossible to do with 2 stages clipped on the same shoulder d ring. So I had no other choice than putting the spg on the right post. So I did it and clipped it on the right shoulder d ring and was again a happy diver. Until 1 guy here mentioned why the spg was to be left on the left post, it's because if you forget your left post or your manifold closed you will notice it if its on the left post but not if it's on the right post.
So no other choice than to put it back on the left post but to be able to check it without having to touch it I just use the same routing as the drysuit inflator : under the left shoulder and the left bc pad to my chest.
Hope this help.
