I'm about to purchase my first bcd. I'm looking for a simple, lightweight wing for single tank such as apeks wtx30, tecline donut 17, etc. Every one I see seems to have the safety valve located on the left side, and bottom (i.e. closer to diver's back) rather then top. All recreational bcd I've seen have them on the right, and closer to the surface.
Why the difference? Is there something with the valve on the right, so I don't have to change my habits?
Also, I guess that the upper valve on the diver's arm will always be missing on 'technical' equipment?
Thanks!
