sidemount

I've recently been thinking of getting a pair of own sidemount cylinders but am not sure whether it makes sense. My local shop charges $20 to rent one, so each outing ends up costing me $40. They're Nitrox filled and I don't have to worry about maintenance and storage. Aluminum tanks with...

So i am looking for thoughts and opinions from experienced sm and cave divers who have used either or both Rigs. And the upsides/downsides they found with both. With cave diving in mind I am looking at a new sidemount rig and I cannot make up my mind about what would be better suited. Also...

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...

I normally dive backmount with tech shorts, even when I am teaching. My left pocket holds my backup mask and torch and my right pocket holds my SMB and spool as well as my wetnotes. I am still using them in sidemount but with the arrival (any day now) of my XDeep Stealth Tec, I was curious if...

Please PM with photos and info to make this a speedy process. Interested in sets: Dive Rite D6 SM XTX50's But if you have others let me know.

Anyone have experience diving this rig? Looking to get into rec SM, and would like a system that can be upgraded as i get into Tec next year, while maintaining the ability to dive singles BM with my wife. I have searched for forums and mostly saw discussions from 2012 ish. anyone still diving this?

Hi all, I currently own an Aqualung LX Supreme regulator set and Atomic Aquatics T3 regulator set for my single tank diving. I have just started sidemount diving and used Apeks XTX50 during my training. I liked them but not a fan of the small purge button. I have a XDeep stealth 2.0 Rec BC and...

Please respond with pictures and info.

I just finished SDI Sidemount! My "homework" is to complete 20-25 dives to develop my skills and get more comfortable, then assess my readiness for TDI Sidemount in lieu of Intro to Tech (rinse/repeat cycles as needed). For Day 1 in the pool, I struggled mightily with the unclipping-swimming...
