Yes, looks like great visibility to me! For Millbrook, it looks pretty good.
I'm not familiar with sidemount diving... what are the advantages/disadvantages?

That would be started like the below,
Advantage
- independent two primary gas source
- provide flexible way to deal with environment
- low profile
- little less drag
- more stable trim due to lower center of gravity
- chance to fix gas problem while watching
Disadvantage
- need to handle two SPG
- too many hoses on diver's chest area
- take little more time to donning
- you may need one more trip to water
- hard to climb boat ladder from water
- can be extremely dangerous in tight area if diver cannot handle some sort of stress
Any others?
