Subject: what to do with the light cord
Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 12:14:28 -0500
I'm and open water diver and dive with NiteRiders Blackwater 3000 which I
won at a scuba show.  The cord between the battery pack and the lighthead is
the proper length - just long enough for left handed operation.

I wear the battery on my right waist strap where the cannister would go.
I've attached a bolt snap to the light head with a piece of bicycle
innertube and clip off the lighthead to my right chest d-ring when the light
is not in use.

A couple weeks ago as i was getting back on the boat, the light cord snagged
a rung of the ladder.  When i went to lift myself on the ladder, the
lighthead got a severe jerk.  The following week after diving i noticed the
lighthead was flooded.

The question is, "Is there already a standard way to configure the light
cord that prevents it from flapping in the waves?"  I must have missed that
detail when studying the available literature.
