I am in the process of adding a 6cf inflation bottle to my kit. I mount it on the BP using the Halcyon straps, with the valve and reg about 5-6" lower than the waist strap.

Now, I also like to use a leash for my O2 deco bottle even if I am carrying only two deco gases. I lay the leash on my butt cheek and have the valve and reg of the O2 bottle "up the a***". This is very comfortable and streamlined as the O2 bottle is neutral. Great especially while scootering.

I have not tried it yet in the water, but I figure that with the 6cf bottle in the way, the leash will have to bit a bit longer for the O2 bottle on the leash to be in the right place.

Anybody had similar experience after adding a 6cf inflation bottle?
