Ok, in a small attempt to be useful, arm mounted knives are great for the solo diver as they are the easiest parts of your body to bring to meet each other, and the lanyard is already in place Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I dive sidemount cos I have to in caves so I stick to one system. I don't particularly like sidemount. But this is a hobby, do what you want! Want to dive two sidemount rebreathers simultaneously to look at fishes at 20ft? Go for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like shearwater. I buy it. I don't buy extras. I dive it. It tells me things. I decide if I'm going to listen or not. These kinds of statements are not easily fitted with the "rec ideas" indicated above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my hand sometimes. As for fins, I pull/push myself along the bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A cylinder. A reg. An SPG. A mask. Everything else is as dictated by the dive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same point. GUE are very receptive to any idea in my experience, and very respectful of others diving styles. I was on a GUE expedition a few months ago. Why did they want the silly CDG boy there? Because when it comes to clearing collapsed passages, at depth, installing deco habitats or just...

Long before 2010 Rick Stanton was giving GUE talks on homemade rebreathers and sidemount... Rather than Steve Bogartyfarty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be entirely honest, I have seen transmitters mounted on 6inch hoses in sidemount. Wasn't a CDG diver though...can't find transmitters in skips Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks like a commercial harness Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added December 27th, 2015 at 03:52 AM ---------- There's a picture in one of my books somewhere of a side mounted CCR in swildons hole in the 1950s/60s if I recall correctly. Sent from my iPhone using...

What you on about bamafan? Didn't you know that Steve Bozeargaratyfarty invented sidemount? To be fair...GI3 was diving sidemount on deco in Wakulla a very long time ago, he was unbolting his twinset for deco :O

Nothing we digressed :P And yeah, I changed them to the longer hoses quite a while ago. This is an old picture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use whats called a farrworld harness. This is how it sits the cylinders.

See I think we may be speaking the same language, but have different terms for things. So I use what is described on here as American side mounting. sump4.com/home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am CDG :P Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it makes you feel better Bob I'm scared of the sea? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, no longhose is standard. The longer SPG hoses don't act as Velcro when routed against the body on the cylinder. Normal cave passage around me is between 10 and 15 inches high, silty, with boulders, and absolutely zero vis. Full capabilities of sidemount are often met. Sent from my...

Most people just "dive sidemount" rather than using sidemount to its full capabilities Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In zero vis dives, from start to finish, you still need to check gas contents. You place a 24" hose on the SPG and route it down and back up bands on the cylinder like a stage cylinder reg. When you want to read the gauge, you pull it out, place it against your light so it glows, place it...

You're joking right? For those unfamiliar with sidemount the SPG is mounted on whatever length hose is suitable for the dive. For example, in ****ty vis on a 24" hose to enable gas pressures to be monitored Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Ohh diving nitrox is hard and not recommended without basic training" No it isn't. Takes less than an hour for a mate to sit you down and show you how to: Analyse gases Work out equivalent air tables Tell you not to exceed your MOD Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
