sidemount

It's been a while since I've been on ScubaBoard. I've been busy diving and writing books. All of my books can be found on my website - www.RobNeto.com. You can order signed copies from the website. You can also order copies from Amazon, B&N, BAM, Target, Walmart, etc. My thrillers and adventure...

One of my cave dive buddies is having some trouble getting his stage to sit correctly into his sidemount setup. He's tried moving around the lower clamp but without success. The tank just always seems to kick out to some degree. See photo. Ive also made suggestions to adjust the length of...

Did some searching and found SPG vs. AI transmitter discussions for a variety of configurations, but not much specifically on setting up sidemount regs for both SPG and AI transmitters. I'm new to sidemount and working through the gear setup process with the eventual plan to use this...

Greetings, I am planning a trip to Truk with the Odyssey Liveaboard later this year in December. I am wondering if the liveaboard supports sidemount divers for deco diving? Additionally, do I need to pay extra for extra stage/deco cylinders? What's the average run time that they will allow you...

Hello, I am getting into decompression diving with new instructors, and am being taught things different from what I learned before, and I am trying to figure out what is their personal preference and what is standard in the tec diving community. They are giving the impression everything they...

Hi folks, I recently moved to Cyprus and am looking for dive buddies, preferably on the western end of the island, near Polis or Paphos. I am 62, fit and a very experienced diver, 1000+ dives. I have nitrox, Rescue and am a chamber operator. I am willing to dive with divers of any experience...

Embark on a tranquil journey with this brief video, capturing the serene essence of my underwater adventures. Joining forces with two teammates, we navigate the…

Hi Guys, How do you route the canister light in sidemount setup? In Singles/Doubles, you put it at the right hip and route it from right hip to left hand. Do you do the same in Sidemount? I was told, I should route it from left of the butt to my left hand directly. Thanks!

Greetings. So I got the OrcaTorch TD01 about a month ago. I've been trying out a couple different light options so I figured I'd give the headlamp style a try. For those you are don't like to read....I actually really liked the light. It was bright, secure on my head and well made. For those...

I almost exclusively dive back mounted doubles here in Norway, and when I went to Dahab last year I was able to rent doubles, but many places in the world that's going to be tricky. I would prefer having redundant gas and regs in the 60-100ft range, especially when diving with random buddies and...

Didn't see a thread on this so thought I would ask. If you're diving a BM unit and are sidemounting bailout, how do you have that configured? Are you running loop bungees from the backplate and using a butt plate or metal stand to clip off the SM tanks? I've seen some premade options from...

Hello ! I'm sidemount certified and only dive recreational for now. However, I want to buy my own sidemount gear and get tec certified to cave dive in the future. This is why I would prefer buying tec equipment even though it will be for later. I was thinking of getting the xdeep tec 2.0 bcd...

Tried to go to Woody's room the other day and ended up going to NOT Woody's Room

Hi brains trust. A trip to Fiji is suddenly in my near future. Can anyone recommend a sidemount focused, or at least sidemount friendly, dive operation there?

I am thinking of buying a sidemount regulator set Apeks MTX-R Sidemount Regulator kit . My concern is that it says it is meant for nitrox of up to 40% max but then it mentions 100% oxygen. I am not clear of what this means exactly, but I have seen that there are nitrox specific regulators even...

Lightly used Light Monkey 5-12 light with 90 degree cable outlet. Configures great for Sidemount, belt mount or rebreather mount. One of the best all around lights ever made for diving and its made here in America with great support! Asking 300.00

I am looking for a regulator set to use for side-mount but there are many brands and models for it, so advice or insight would be appreciated it. (might be used for technical in the future) Most expensive to least expensive (from what I research so far) 1.) Apeks XTX50 - High standard, great...

Hello, I am looking forward to buying Xdeep Stealth 2.0 Tec but from what I've seen in various videos on youtube, there seem to be 2 versions of the wing. The first one is the one that has the Xdeep logo with the yellow X (left) and the other one which is less common is the one that has a big...

Hi all. My buddy and I just finished our TDI sidemount course and we are interested to find anyone else that's diving sidemount or twins around Oahu. Also plan on taking a decompression procedures course in the near future. Is there a sidemount/tech diving scene on island?
