Hmmmmmmmm,
I saw on the cover of "Dive Training" several months ago, 2 divers posed "Then & Now", the "Then" diver was wearing a latex wet suit, but the interesting thing was his tank was mounted upside down. When did this change & why?
It seems to me that this would a better way to wear your equipment. In "scuba" class 101, we had to reach back & turn our tank valve back on as if it had gotten turned off, off course we all know that this is to say the least difficult, but can be done especially if one is sucking on a dead reg. But if the tank was mounted in the inverted position this would be a lot easier. Cavers wouldn't have to worry about the knobs getting rolled off, or hitting the valves on overhead obsticals, wreck divers wouldn't have to put the cages over the valves. Only problem I see is after diving you can't stand your gear up.
