Just uploaded a video I shot of a recent Tec Sidemount course. Filmed by GoPro HD Hero2 in Subic Bay, the confined water training lasts a day of solid pool time.
4x AL cylinders used for the experience (2x primary/2x deco). I'm in my 'Frankenstein', student is in a Hollis SMS50. The Hollis coped well with 4 cylinders, but the lack of waist D-rings fouled up his deco stage stowage (this was rectified the next day, with 2 additional waist D-rings added).

Enjoy!

Great as always Andy, I've been using the 2 shallow D rings on the waist with goods results for quite awhile now.
 
Yep... ading 2x extra D-rings to the waist is now a pre-requisite for anyone bringing an SMS50 to my courses. I also recommend a change-out of the stock bungees.
