    Tanks for transition from Mexican Cave SM to cold ocean SM?

    I learned to dive SM in Mexican caves, wearing a drysuit with thin undergarments and two AL 80s. I use 14 lbs of lead in that configuration. I like that AL 80s are light underwater and easy to unclip, unbungee, and manipulate in other ways. I am now looking to switch from BM doubles to SM...

    Are Apeks Thermiq 8/7 side pockets suitable for sidemount diving?

    Is Apeks Thermiq suitable for sidemount given side pockets? Tried the Apeks Thermiq 8/7 semi dry and loved it. Only issue is that it has side pockets with a hard pull bar. Since I dive sidemount I am worried that these pockets (esp. the hard tube to pull them open) will get in the way. Do any...

    Hauling Tanks for Sidemount Shore Dives

    A fair amount of the shore diving I do involves walks through shallow water of 100-200 yards (meters) before reaching a 5' (1.5m) depth to begin a dive. Gearing up at the beach would be cumbersome and makes little sense as it defeats a key benefit of sidemount. So my question is how to get the...

    Drysuit Pocket Positioning for sidemount?

    Looking to order my first drysuit in a month or two. Was wondering, is there an ideal position for sidemount diving? Afraid of tanks being in the way if pockets are in the default position. Thanks!

    A question regarding sidemount diving in coldwater / warm water / single cylinder use

    Hi guys, i currently think of moving to sidemount because i got a bit annoyed of carrying the tanks on my back. I'm also impressed with the advantages of SM (streamlining, redundancy, no tanks on the back). 80% of my dives are in German or Austrian cold waters with a drysuit. Though, i go on...

    LP95 or even LP108 for Sidemount Diving?

    Hi everyone! I've been diving LP85 in sidemount for a while now and I love them! However, I'm starting to do deeper technical dives (no cave) and I wouldn't mind having more gas... So anyone having experience diving LP95 or even bigger tanks, say even LP108? How to they trim compared to the...
