    My venture into Sidemount.

    The hose that came on my Hollis would not even come near close enough for me to oral inflate. I switched it out with the Diverite one it stretches MUCH better.

    My venture into Sidemount.

    Well for my own personal preference I like my tanks to be a little higher (inline with body) and to be a little further back (valves at the back/bottom of armpit. I use worthington HP100s and also use the rails on my hollis. Its just they way that works for me. Assuming that was me in that...

    Nomad JT

    For the record I have the Hollis heavily modified but what I hear about the JT are mixed reviews of coarse... One common review is that is it not the best for the larger tanks (steel). not sure exactly why thats just what I hear. All in all I don't know anybody that hates theirs or the JT in...

    What are YOUR hose lengths and why?

    My inflator hose also goes down then loops back up to the inflator. It is only 9 -12" not sure. I have my Power inflator running up from the bottom. My 1st staged ate MK10's and have a rotating turret

    Tank moving around

    Well not to beat a dead horse but If my tanks were + near the end of the dive I would simply add a weight or 2 to the camstraps on the tanks. As stated tank choice has a lot to do with the problem your having. I use 2 Worthington steel HP100's so even bone dry there -2lb in water. An in...

    What are YOUR hose lengths and why?

    Come on man you know it so you can have a little fun!!!:D You deploy the long hose but keep your tank then periodically yank the reg out of his mouth and watch him chase it... Kinda like a cat and a string... :rofl3: Ok no not really

    What are YOUR hose lengths and why?

    Well there are several posts about the Hollis and the things folks have done to them in the SM forum. I dont think its to say "how much" tweaking the rig "needs" rather then just look at the available options. Everybody changed there rig to suit them and there is no one design for all. Mine is...

    DIR to go Sidemount?

    O I never got picked on because of my gear if you read my post you would have picked up on that. I dont give a damn what people think about me and my setup but I really don't care to see other divers getting picked on because there choice of gear or placement of it. I do not want to take a...

    DIR to go Sidemount?

    I went back 4 pages and did not see this questioned asked so here goes. Is DIR/GUE ever going to try to stake a claim in Sidemount??? I have read the requirements of gear for your BM diving and I can't honestly say I agree with it but who cares right... With ALL the different configurations...

    sidemount with single lp95 and Alu 40

    :dontknow: Pardon my lack of experience but that does not sound like it would work for me at all. Mainly because the type of diving I like to do I guess.

    Nomad XT rigging/adjustments feedback appreciated

    It is hard to see but is the loop ran around the valve as in under the hoses too? Or is it just ran under the knob and under the back of the valve?

    LP108's for SideMount

    Thanks... Is there a larger volume tank that does work well??? Well meaning by the number of students you have taught and different tanks you have used. LP85's will only give me 115cf so it does not warrent a several hundred dollar purchase when I already have 2 100's. I have considered 95's...

    Nomad XT rigging/adjustments feedback appreciated

    So you do not think that the tank is sitting a little too far back (horizontal) on his body? From what I see and the way I like mine his are too far back if it were me... Shortening the loops will pull it up nice but it wont pull it forward will it?... Yes or No: the cam straps should be...

    LP108's for SideMount

    Yes I am of the larger divers... 6'2'' 300lbs so they might work then.

    LP108's for SideMount

    I was wondering if anyone uses LP108's for sidemount??? I now use 2 Worthington HP100's and just love them and have been looking at there 108's... I want to get larger tanks and am having a hard time deciding which ones. Worthington 108's have similar buoyancy weights as the HP100 but I have...
