Hello fellow Sidemounters , I’m looking to extend my bottom time and playing with the idea of adding an additional Alu 80 to my rig on technical dives. I was just wondering how that has worked for others. Configuration would be 3x Alu 80’s for bottom gas and 1 x Alu 40 for deco. Any feedback on how that worked out with trim, weighting rigging and how manageable it was. Thank you

I dive recreational with 2 Al80 in traditional configuration.
Tech dives I will add an Al80 with 50% O2 on the left side, clipped waist and shoulder d ring and or an AL40 on the right with 100%02, attached the same way.
My bands are set so I stay in trim. I make no adjustments to my SM rig for the deco tanks.
