Does anyone have suggestions on to where to mount a 6cf Ar bottle?
I have my can light butt mounted so another spot is needed.
Thanks

Dude, eat lots of beans before the dive and leave the argon bottle on shore. Sorry, no help from the usual sidemount suspects here.... we don't dive when the air temperature is lower than the water temperature and don't really believe in the healing powers of argon anyways :D

You're right, if you don't preflush.
We carry a K bottle of Ar with us so we can flush before the dive, giving us 100% argon in our suits right away when we begin the dive. Without doing this you'll never feel the benefits unless you empty your entire jug into your suit.

Hose clamp it to the can light. heh...
I'm in the "you want me to dive in the what temperature?" crowd. I mean, its not even a cave.

I don't mind the cold water, as long as the air temp is above -5C.
Bailed on today's dive due to weather.
