I have recently been getting into sidemount. I took the class wearing a manta and lp85's clipped to a butt plate, with no problem getting things to trim out.
Then i put together my own sidemount rig that is fairly minimalistic. I dove with al40's clipped to d rings on my waist the other day and they worked great.
THEN i tried lp72s. as a steel tank i figured i would attach to a butt plate, but they got floaty in the back halfway through the dive. so a couple days ago i tried them clipped to the waist d rings (2 positions) like ali tanks and had decent success, but still had trouble with what seemed like floating when on the rear dring and sinking when on the forward d ring.
With such a lightweight steel tank, how do YOU sidemount them? I'd like to know where your boltsnap is positioned, how you attach the tank to your bc/harness, and any other details you have found to make them behave properly.
thanks in advance!
