Peter, the argon tank is meant to be removeable. For wreck diving, the
film says to put in on the hip, and use a smaller bottle. The best I
have seen is from Sweden as done by the "Swedish Brothers". I call this
the "Norway" ( there is the right way, the wrong way, and the Norway).

The idea is to have it not get hung up on things wreck diving. In cave,
we need more argon. 

Commercial puts it in a "pocket" on the leg, which would also work well
for wreck with a small bottle.
