    Which way do you mount your MK25?

    Just curious, as I have always mounted mine "right side up" but have seen a noticed a few people using them in what I had previously thought to be "up side down". I kind of like the clean look that gives. Any opinions?

    Turret down on singles, turret at a 45* angle pointed in and down on doubles.

    24" necklace backup off a right-side port
    22" LP inflator off a left-side port

    I'm a Fish!
    Bumber Cap Up, same setup as 50Fathom.

    As a neebie diver when I first purchased a MK25 and S600, my LDS had it setup the other way.
    Took me a week before I realised it was wrong and changed it.

    I don't dive singles much anymore.

    Turret down, as it is less likely to hit the back of my head when I look up. Caveat is that on some tanks with a short neck valve, the clearance might be insufficient. I recall in the manual that scuba pro states that you can install it either way, so you can put it up or down depending on how it works best for you and your style of diving.
    I thought I was a people person......until I met people.

    Cap up, turret down. Just seemed to make more sense to me, haha, but also for what NAUI said about hitting my head when I look up.
