If you get 6 sidemount divers at a bar and you ask about their config you will hear about 8 different rigs each one being the best.So the millions of SM divers that have a breakaway on their long hose are wrong because he doesn't?

I didn't know there were millions diving side mount. My X-Deep bolt snap is too expensive to chance on gimmicks.So the millions of SM divers that have a breakaway on their long hose are wrong because he doesn't?
You asked! We listened!
Let me introduce you the Fist Free Breakaway Connector for X-deep Bolt Snap (S size)!
There are three versions of clip with inner/outer diameter:
(A) 10/18mm
(B) 11/19mm
(C) 12/20mm
Was too lazy to go to storage room to get some hoses and I had only my Deep6 reg with their orange hoses to try on, so made three different size to fit different hoses.
It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it!)

because in Sidemount you need a brakeaway connection to share air! on single or double yes, just nylon string is fine.

you simply unclip it to share air
I could not find any link to use regular bolt snaps. I will try your design and see how it fits. thanksfor regular bolt snap there is another model. look at that site. there are actually two models.
Xdeep did not fit cuz it has a different ring so I designed this!
Looks interesting, Thank you for taking the time to design the clips and for freely sharing the design.UPD: After some undewater testing seems 11/19 mm is the best one for most hoses. Made Version 2 with some additional wall thickness and openings size tweaks, so it is more stable on the hose and better clip movement. Please use 11-19 V2.stl file.
What about using the top 1/2 of this item; replace the plastic snap with a SS one & cut off the botton 2 hose holders.....I could not find any link to use regular bolt snaps. I will try your design and see how it fits. thanks
