if you clip it onto your backplate, wouldn't the wing prevent it from hitting the ceiling? Or is this argon on a sidemount config? I don't have an argon bottle yet so I have no pics....

I use a 7cuft bottle and wear it on my waist band behind my light canister on my right side.

What is the best argon bottle choice (size, al/steel... i never used one yet)?
Lee, when you put your A-bottle on the right side, what is the LP hose length, where do you have the connect on your drysuit valve: left/right or swivel?
Thanks!

I'll have to measure the hose to be sure but it is about 18" and both my suits have a swivel connection.

DIR recomends an old style 14cf, low pressure, AL tank. They are the same outside size as the newer 20cf AL. That is pretty big, unless you are making some very long dives.
