Art As an alternative... I have a *very* thin piece of inner tubing around the canister and tuck the excess cord into it, just like a stage regulator. Obviously, this must be done carefully so as not to stress the cable and with no tight turns. The advantage of this method is that I can de-kit in water and the cord will stay neat. We have the luxury of this on one of the boats we dive as the skipper winches the kit aboard.

This if in daytime, since the light isn't needed for ascent. If you do need the light during ascent, do this on the surface before approaching the ladder. -- Art Greenberg artg@ec*.ne* -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
