Sidemount Diving Secrets - Drysuit Inflator Hose

Does your drysuit inflator hose go over or under the long hose when sidemount diving? It all depends on how you stow your long hose on your right cylinder. If you follow a traditional "Mexico-style" sidemount diving setup, your long hose will stow above the clip to the inside of the cylinder, against your body. In this case, the drysuit inflator must be "over" the long hose. If on the other hand, you stow the long hose under the clip towards the outside of the cylinder, the converse is correct and you will have the drysuit inflator "under" the long hose.... confusing? Watch the video to see what I mean. Feel free to comment on how you do this and the advantages and disadvantages of each method when sidemount diving.
