Hmmm, with the newer style light cans, I'd have thought you could fit it there, using a webbing mount/bungee loop plate mount.

That's obviously not going to be the DIR way to do it. I guess you could use a really long dry suit inflator hose and route it up and over or some other BS but that is also not going to be DIR. |
True enough, but if the argon were to sit on a plate mount that wouldnt be an option. Granted its not DIR, but then neither were Apeks regs until his holy Georgeness had an overnight change of mind
Back to the original point, the easiest way with a 1.5L is tank mounted on the left, as mark said earlier. Im just one of these pain in the ass divers who's always looking to improve things
