Pretty basic question, but where is the best place to attach a night dive strobe light so that it doesn't get tangled with various hoses etc, but will be prominently displayed?

Neck of tank is usually where I see it around.
RJP/leadturn, why don't you like flashing strobes?
It will annoy you, other divers, (esp photogs) and the fish.
No strobes.
But [-]a chem light or similar[/-] a small battery-powered tank marker can be attached to the tank valve. This may be about the best position for other divers to "see" it.
No, not talking about a bright strobe light, just a "small" blinking red light (TEKTITE). Actually, it's not my idea, but required for the dive. Couldn't hurt, I guess. Attaching to the tank neck sounds like the best idea. I'll see how that works.
Who is "requiring" a blinking red light?
