hello scuba board
i have been looking for some time now into the different sidemount rigs available. and..... im stumped, mainly i have been looking at the razor 2 harness with 45lb bat wing. or the nomad xt. i no they are two totaly different style pieces of equipment.
i am a recreational open water diver, i eat sleep and breath diving i go under as much as my wallet can stand. so with this in mind the maximum i would be carrying would probably be 2 steel lp 12L cylinders and at a later date a deco gas of some sort when i inevitably venture into the tech route.
i dive dry with a 2.5 mm o three drysuit and fourth element arctic undersuit down to a max of 40 meters. so im after something with enough lift should the worst happen an i get a flood. an my worry is that there wouldnt be enough lift in the bat wing on the razor. but the guy i will be taking my training with believes in the razor 100% and i can get swept along easy (im like a sponge) so i guess what im after is input from anyone that wants to help on these two systems or something i may not have thought of at all. pros- cons etc.
i apologise if you are bored of probably answering the same sort of questions over and over, but any help given is much appreciated.
