    Sidemount gear configuration practices - 4 questions

    1. I use a 26-inch short hose on my left tank and a 7 foot long hose on my right tank. 2. I use one fixed (no swivel) 90 degree adapter on my short (left) hose. No adapter on the right long hose. That way, even if narced and confused, I can tell by feel which is in my mouth at any moment. 3...

    Possible Alternative Way of Doing a Tank Lanyards?

    Hi everyone, I’m submitting this idea to the Sidemount diving community for feedback and your ideas on possible improvements. I’m trying to improve upon the concept of the tank lanyard / ring bungee system. I want to share my thoughts with everyone so we all benefit. Sort of like crowd-sourcing...
