Got a small diving flashlight for Christmas, and I was wondering where people like to store flashlights when not in active use while underwater. It has a flimsy wrist strap, which I doubt would be an effective solution. I don't dive with wetsuit pockets either.
Where do you store a flashlight?

I attach a bolt snap to mine and either store it in a pocket on my pocket shorts or hang it from a d-ring on my BP harness.
Replace the strap with a bolt snap (you’ll need to tie it on) and clip it to a chest d-ring. Put a 1 inch piece of inner tube on the shoulder strap of your bc below the d-ring to slide the light into. This will hold it in place and keep it from dangling.
Hope that helps,
Erik

Bolt snap on the back so I can clip it off to the d-ring, but during the dive the light is on my hand the whole time.

Only by a minute. We were obviously replying at the same time. I think we are in agreement

As above for day dives. If I want to look at something in a hole, I pull it out of the retainer strap and leave it connected to the shoulder D ring while using it.
For night dives, this:

And it stays on my hand the whole dive. A backup light goes on the shoulder D ring.

How do you switch it from hand to hand, or do you just wave it around whenever you have to do something else with that hand?As above for day dives. If I want to look at something in a hole, I pull it out of the retainer strap and leave it connected to the shoulder D ring while using it.

A small light is great on your mask strap. It's there if you need it and keeps hands free.....
