You are planning for the end goal in mind. If the goal is to be a cave DPV diver you should learn how to ride it like a cave diver before you learn bad habits.
It is the same reason why many cave instructors learn to use your primary in your left hand from day 1, so that when you do end up on a...
Flooded with more water coming, on my way out of town Tuesday I think I saw a bearded man collecting animals two by two.
Pretty much limited to Ginnie, Manatee, and Jug.
And now the transmitters is sticking out into your arm pit or outside where it can get tangled with your bungees. Also that doesn't really position the ports where the hoses route the best.
You realize that this post is in the SM forum right? That is the proper way to mount a reg on a SM bottle.
You can run it on a short hose if you want, but now it is farther back and more likely to have issues reading. Nearly everyone I know angles it on AL tanks.
Keeping your hand on the wheel isn't that hard, jeez kids these days.
I keep it on when I am outside of towns in cave country. It works on most of the major roads, but I do increase the follow distance to max.

So I was diving with someone testing these fins. He described that the felt like a slightly stiffer Dive Rite XTs with a bit more snap. He was using the Dive Rite XTs before and liked them.
They are still ugly as sin, but if they are almost heavier weight (with the weights installed) Dive Rite...

If you do it with a cave DPV instructor, yes. A lot of my initial struggle in cave DPV boiled down to lack of control of my DPV. After a couple of dives getting a feel for how to configure and ride it properly things were a lot easier. After that you have handling the DPV and stages.
My on camera setup is a Backscatter wide tray with Sola Video Pro 3800s on camera, but what is important is having your lead person lighting things up and giving your videos scale.
Here is @Norwegian Cave Diver lighting up Chan-Hol mostly with his LM VF light and a HP50 with video filter...
