What's monkey diving then?SM with a single tank is not monkey diving
What's monkey diving then?
As you don't quote, I am not sure if you are refering to my post but how do you think we were doing before all these specific SM equipments were available?that post made not a lick of sense. post some pics of what you mean.
In my understanding and my experience monkey diving is removing your double and the wing from your backplate, put the stage-deco as a stage-deco (means just hanging, not SM) and go play around under the boat using your scooter to help with the buoyancy.What's monkey diving then?
No, and unless you are going to go cave diving or penetrating wrecks, forget it. Not one of the many members of our 150+ dive club who used to dive sidemount still do it. Despite what the practisers say about it, it is much harder than singles and certainly not needed for all recreational dives.
