Greetings, everyone!
So far I'm a Master Scuba Diver through PADI with Nitrox, Deep, Wreck, Night and Buoyancy specialties besides Rescue but I want to take more serious diving training.
I got in contact with a 5 cave diving instructors in Mexico and they all told me flat out to NOT buy Halcyon, Hollis, or DiveRite side mount rigs because they are too bulky. Amazingly, all 5 said the same thing: choose between Apeks, Razor or XDeep.
The only difference between the 3 rigs mentioned is that the Razor has 2 bladders that function independently from each other.
Can anyone give me some insight into this? I'm in the process of selling my recreational stuff and getting a side mount rig.
Cheers!
