I prefer valve down. I have had he valve turned on without knowing it in both positions it's esaier to acess down. Another problem used to be sticky EGS valves but I think that ones been solved.

upside down easier to reach back and turn it on, but if your off at hat and on at bailout i would think right side up would work just fine its all personal preference but when you need it as long as you can get some air into your lungs thats all that really matters right

I have to agree with Stuart here if your rig is crap whats it matter down or up? Ive dove both ways over the years and I found that in both positions it still gives you air when needed

<p>Just how many hats don't have a EGS? I can think of the Gorski, Swindel, and Desco Pot.</p>

<p>Skylar,</p>
<p>They use to run scuba tanks upside down on at least one model of the Scott Hydro Pac it was a full face rig in the mid 1950's to the 1960's. You could reach around and control the valve on that rig. Pretty cool rig the full face mask had a regulator on the side of it. You can most likely see one on line on a historical type page. Scott Hydro pac. </p>

If you hat doesn't have a EGS valve (like the Gorski), you need to have it down. If you have a leak, you can just shut the valve off at the bottle, get the dive done, and fix your leak later.

Personally I always have mine valve down but on at the bottle people say one more valve to turn but the way ive always seen it and stood stong on it is so the 1st stage is always charged and you know theres not severed or burst hose during the dive, easy to end a dive to change out a hose or o -ring than need your bail out and not have it

Down! Always! It would be a shame to find a diver dead on bottom cuz they needed to go on bailout and the valve had accidentally been shut but they were unable to open it because they couldn't reach the valve.....

Tank upside down,Valve off , air hose charged, I want to know for sure my emergency air is ready for me when I need it. I dive a Gorski so that's a perfect set up as I see it.

not worried if they are going to fail just if there's any kinda slow leak.
