Where are you putting your safety sausage when wearing your bpw?

I dive a Zena and had it attached to my bottom D-ring and somehow lost it on a dive recently. Now I've ordered a new one and am trying to figure out how to attach it and stay streamlined while taking pics. I think I'm back to that bottom D-ring and using a bungee to keep it close to my rig. I think having it attached to a top D-ring might work too ... but I'm worried about it just feeling too 'visible' (but maybe that's good?). I have my camera attached on the left side - so maybe have the SMB on the right side? 450+ dives and haven't needed it yet ... which means that I'm gonna need it soon, right??????

I tried stowing a bag in the Halcyon backplate pad and discovered I'm like the princess and the pea.

I found a sausage won’t stay in the pouch, too small and slippery. But, a Halcyon SMB will stay in there.

Butt D-ring

Does that make it self inflating?

I have a pair of 1/4" bungie loops threaded through my upper camstrap. It seems to hold the rolled up SMB reasonably securely. I can (just) reach over my shoulder to pull out the SMB. Probably not streamlined enough for cave / wrecks, but I don't do that stuff.

Two bungees with cord locks on the side of the plate. Or, you can use a double bolt snap and attach it to the side of the plate.

1 connected to a hole in the base of my back plate and the other is in a pocket

But D ring is ok,
but tends to get in the way on the surface, off to the side is much nicer,

Usually my finger spool goes on the RH D ring to retain my long hose

I keep my DSMB attached to the backplate using 2 loops of bungee cord, on my right-hand side, just above the belt / at the kidney. Keep the spool separately clipped onto the bottom right corner of the backplate (double-ender clipped through a screwhole that's there). Both are nicely out of the way but easily removed, before tying together for use.
