Question for side-mounters doing decompression dives.What are the diving situations in which you guys feel you were wearing a backmount instead? I have never been in a side mount but it appears that on a rocking boat in high seas, side-mount people are often in need of more "assistance." Secondly, when the dive is over and you are coming back on the boat, how much of a hassle is that to climb up a bouncing ladder? Every time the boat tilts, the weight of two HP-100s is trying to pull you to one side when it tilts the other way you are swaying like a hippo to the other side with all that weight.
PITA no?
