It's shackled to the backplate. Probably the most common mounting scheme we see around here.

Dived the mounted bottle last night (mine is a 13). Very nice. No problem donning the rig, and the bottle is tucked so perfectly into the slip stream that I didn't even notice it was there. I noticed it when I clipped off mt SPG or vented the rear dump, but that's it.

And now I am absolutely convinced that argon really does keep you warmer. Water temp has dropped 2 degrees down to 39F and I was able to make the entire dive without my hands getting cold for the first time in about 8 dives.
