When I learnt with PADI I was taught that the AAS goes on the right, and since then I've always dived with it there. I've read a piece on the BSAC web site about placing the alternate on the left (link below) and I'm thinking about trying it on the other side, it makes sense to me that placing it here would avoid a bend in the hose.
So do you have your alternate on your left or right? And why is it there? If you have it on your right, does your BC inflator affect how you deploy it/how your buddy gets at it? Does your drysuit hose get in the way at all?
I'm interested in seeing what other peoples ideas are.
Thanks, Andy.
