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. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
