I’m switching from bcd and octopus style hoses to bpw and long hose primary donate

Any good resources on additional tips or training or education for making this swap? Thanks.
 
It isn’t rocket surgery. The most important thing is to make sure you can deploy the primary without it being trapped by anything on your right side.
 
I don't have any training with the ISE agency, but found their videos on how to set up the regs and the harness very helpful

Frog Kick Diving also has a good page on reg setup, with pictures: FROG KICK DIVING | FKD

BTW, if your first stage reg has a "5th port" on the end, I find that it is the best port for the long hose, with the first stage mounted to the valve at maybe approximately 15-30 degrees clockwise, such that the long hose port is pointing toward the diver's right hip.
