sidemount

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...

I am transitioning from Tec to Tec side mount I have been in the water a couple of times with my Hollis SMS 100 and everything is good except the bungees for the neck of the bottles. I want to be able to have a connection that can carry the weight of the bottles because of a need to do a giant...

I plan to do a lot of diving this Summer, including beginning my cave training. Right now, I want to focus on improving my basic skills and knowledge. As such, I am considering the GUE Fundamentals course at numerous folks recommendation. I am wondering about my subsequent cave-related options...

Its a nice harness but I really wanted 12 D rings so i switched to the xtek harness. Bought new in May. The waist strap was cut to accommodate a 36 inch waist comfortably. Asking 225+ shipping (I live in Hawaii, yes I'm lucky... except when it comes to shipping)

Like new condition. I used it in the quarry and pool but decided I just don't see that I will use it enough to justify having it sit around. It wants to dive. Retail Nomad XT is 799. Weight pockets are 109. Soft weight plate with 4 pouches holding 4 # each is 89. Total= 997. 50% of retail =...

Hi I wondered if anyone could give me some info or thoughts as to whether or not Sidemount may work better for my issues below and what kind of set ups people have used who are similar in size? I am 5ft 2” and short waisted (14inch back length) with wide hips . I have dived numerous wings/back...

When I started to go for training in the pool (I use метро - subway train, "tube" transport, not personal car), I was too lazy to carry heavy bag with eqipment. And I starts to minimize my diving eqipment. First idea had begun, when I goes from back to sidemount. I decide - If I can swim with...

I think I'm hanging up my cave diving helmet, and meanwhile I've got one of them cordless Halcyon deals for rec diving, so I'd like to find a nice home for my trusty Light Monkey. Bought in 2014, used on a couple dozen cave dives I guess (hence the gentle scratches on the battery case, which...

Hey, I'm looking to get into tech diving in the next few months and am currently researching my options and saving up $$$ to make the jump. I think it is a good idea to at least explore the side mount option to see if it might be a good fit for me. I've had some low back issues in the past...
