I currently dive a single stage mounted under my left arm, in accordance =
with WKPP principles.  I am about to commence TDI Extended range and =
will need a second stage.  The accepted practice amongst those I dive =
with is that the second stage goes under the right arm -  generally =
considered to be strokism!

So, what to do.  Please advise how the second stage cylinder is mounted =
on the left side.  Do you use longer webbing or cord straps that pass =
behind the top cylinder or, mount the lower cylinder directly on the =
upper.

What is considered to be the best size stage cylinders?  I currently =
have a 5l but, two of these on one side is going to be quite a weight =
and, space requirement.

I will be doing deep open ocean divers and possibly some wreck.
