Normally there are two methods: one is downwards to the cylinder, which is often seen in Mexico style; one is upwards to your shoulders. My instructor told me a liitle about the difference between these two ways. He said big and strong people like to get the SPG straight up because they would feel uncomfortable when bending their hands back to find the SPG and it is easy to check the SPG without using hand.
But in overhead environments, the SPG would have the possibility to be thrust into the silt. My instructor encountered this problem when he doing his training in Florida. He manged to go through a very small passage and the SPG roil the water then he has to quit.
Most of my dives are in open water, so I always put the SPGs upward because even my hands are occupied for doing other things, I still can easily know how much air.
like to know your ideas on this..
