Over or under the harness? I've always had it running over, but realized running it under could be useful if it ever came off (for whatever reason). Thoughts?

Okay, you've heard all our opinions. Want to know what the science is? http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/ www.divematrix.com
If you're running it from an argon bottle, routing it under the left shoulder strap makes it less of an entanglement hazard (if the hose is a longer than necessary), provides some strain relief (if it runs a little short) and makes you more streamline in any case.

If I inflate from backgas, I have it coming off the left post, over the top of the wing, behind the left shoulder, under the left arm, and then under the left side shoulder strap to the inflator. I have one of the "0ld Sk00l" non-swiveling inflators on my TLS, which points down.
For argon inflation, I bring the hose up the side of the backplate (in front of the wing), under the left arm, and then under the left side shoulder strap to the inflator.
From the front side, the hose appears to come from the same spot, independent of what type of inflation I use. The harness strap keeps the hose captured and in place, and out of the way of any stage or deco bottles.
DIR-Atlanta meets at 7:00 PM on the third Tuesday of every month, at Little Vita, 2110 Peachtree Road NW Atlanta, GA. Drop us a line if you are interested in joining us for a meeting or dive!

I'm doing all this except under the left shoulder strap. Since I see obvious benefits to changing (and no reasons not to), I will.
