Seb does it that way at divetech in grand cayman, he says it helps his trim. I cant cause I wouldnt be able to reach the valves in my drysuit, same problem I had with doubles.

I think I will have trouble getting to the O2 off in case of a solenoid jam open on the O2 injector, especially with a dry suit. This will not be a problem on the dil. side and i think It might make hose lay out a bit easier.
It,s nice to know a few guys out there use this setup and do not seem to have had any problems.
I guesss I could route the O2 to the inject input from a take off with valve on the manual inject counterlung that way I would have good manual control if needed.

Anyway thanks for the reply, much appreciated. abc

I have never had any problems reaching the bottles with a drysuit. Nor do i have a problem unplugging the solenoid in case it jams open.
