Since I brought up this topic in another thread, but do not want to hijack it, I decided to open this thread.
I would be interrested in the postion on the question if a canister light, mounted on the right hip is still considered mandatory nowadays.
I read in the standard Appendix A: "Where burn time requirements create the need for an external battery pack, it should reside in a canister mounted to the diver’s right hip."
The situation is as follows. I have got a light with an external canister, but it fits on my wrist Mount, so I have no cord across the chest. Instead of a canister, I wrapped the longhose under a cutting device on the right hip.
Would this Setup disqualify me?
