When parking the light head this way, it's very important to remember to tuck the cord UNDER THE LONG HOSE before tucking it under the waist strap. Failing to do so can interfere with long hose deployment, which is completely unacceptable at any point during the dive, even when it's an "easy dive", even when you're "right at the surface", etc. The shit can hit the fan fast, anytime, on any dive. Be ready for it always. Also, see the DIR tapes for details of how long to make the cord. When you're using it in your right hand, you should take up the slack by coiling the cord once around the arm. - Todd > > The question is, "Is there already a standard way to configure the > > light cord that prevents it from flapping in the waves?"
