I started Tech training back mount and instantly found out that valves seemed miles away even if I wasn't a stiff 67 years old, wearing a dry suit and a 4th Element undergarment. So, I put the Tech training on hold and signed up for some side mount training.
I've completed one dive so far. My first experience with a pair of LP95's and Nomad harness was favorable. The underarm bungees were a little tight and I had trouble with the remove and reconnect drills. When I let the tanks hang without the bungees (i.e. just the snaps) I was a little better at it.
I have a feeling this may be my solution to continuing Tech training. When one adds a 40CF EAN50 deco bottle and perhaps an O2 bottle, how difficult is it to get to the leg pockets to deploy a DSMB or retrieve the spare mask?
Regards,
Ken
