Yes I have received other info and messages that if you subscribe to terra.net you should have seen. Never the less I am forwarding some of the messages that other divers with great experience have written to me. I butt mount my light now. It seems to be the best place for me without clutter and for bouyancy. I am 5'5 and I need all the room I can get. I have already tried the side mount these past few days and I am going back to butt mounting. Its all a matter of what you are comfortable and feel safe with. I have no problem reaching my swicth and nothing seems to get in the way.
