Getting into my BP/Wing setup and wanting to know how long the surgical tubing or what ever you attach to octo to your neck with. How far below your chin should the reg sit? Can anyone provide me with some specs? Thanks

Mo2vation:Depends.
Some folks wear it long... I mean long, and when I ask them about it, they say they feel like the second is choking them, etc....
Some say is should be tight enough (read: close enough) to sort of chin into your mouth without your hands...
Some use bungee. Some use caveline.
I use surgical tubing. I keep it close. I don't feel like its choking me.. I can't even tell its there. I haven't tried the hands-free deployment, but I will this weekend.
Not much help - but my advice is keep it as close as possible.
