Well since I have not posted in here in a while I figure it is time for an update.
I did my second open water dive of the season in sidemount, and it is the first that I am doing with Faber hp120's. I have been in the pool a couple dozen times this winter with the new tanks. I decided that I needed 8 pounds of weight with this setup in a drysuit, with 4th element arctic undergarments. I trimmed out nicely and did a 45 minute drift dive in the setup. I have retired my Faber lp 112's from sidemount as I was not happy with them, I think it was that they were too fat.
I will be doing a week of sidemount diving in Bonaire in just under a months time and I look forward to every minute of it.
