Phi - I've seen people mount it on their back tanks and discover that they can't always turn it on/off easily, have the light cord ripped out when it catches on something - resulting in a flooded canister and destroyed batteries. I've seen people butt mount it and discover that they can't turn it on/off properly and also the cord is too short to hold the head in the left hand. In other words all other methods are compromises. Remember, hogarthian is a system. If you start modifying it, you are getting less than optimal configuration and are thus making unnecessary compromises. You may prefer to wear your stages bi-laterally, but that's probably because that's what you always did. Try re-learning how to carry stages on the left - once you've got it you'll hardly notice they're there! John. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
