do you 'carry---& shoot' your stobes in-------10/2...3/9...8/4.???......OR----any other position(s)????.........Reason I ask, I've recently added a 2nd 110a strobe(for a S95 in a FIX housing ---using the UWL-04 lens for WA) & heading on a Brac trip in a couple weeks---& want to(lol) 'be prepared'..............I made a short trip to the Flower Gardens a few weeks back(using the twin strobes) & 'caught myself' staying with the 10/2 positioning most of the time, wondering if other positions would be (in general---there's that term again) more 'useful'...........ie--what's your #1 'go to' position.....tia.......

EDIT: used a single 110a for almost 4 years with this same camera rig.....again, tia

Probably in between 10/2 and 9/3. Although I noticed in my last dive trip, someone and the DM were diving with their strobes fully extended with what looks like 2ft worth of arms on each side...at 45 deg to each side. Not sure if that is the new thing.
 
I use 3-clock/9-o-clock, 12-oclock/9-oclock, or 11:30/12:30 depending on the shot. Play around with different strobe positions, and notice where the light is falling. Good luck!
