I've been diving a hybrid sidemount (back tank and sidemount pony and/or AL80) for a while. I have also dove full sidemount with my Zeagle Escape BC. My question is how different is diving with a razor type harness and a drysuit (properly weighted and ditchable weights) in open water versus a wing/BC with sidemounted AL80s. You have all the same issues with a failed single bouyancy system, but far more streamlined and less hose connections, belts, buckles pockets ....etc.
You should know I will be doing this anyway for a test and in lake/shore diving. I'm just curious what the old timers think here, and if a boat crew would freakout over someone diving outside the normal local dive shop garb.
