The SMS 100 needs a fair amount of modification to be a truly effective sidemount rig. As it comes stock, it's kind of a pig to dive.I am going to buy a Hollis sms 100 to a friend.
Do you know it ?
There are the Edd mods which require you to send the rig to Florida. BUT Andy Davis has some that you can do yourself.

I have also helped a couple people with mods that I was able to do in about 15 minutes in the pool just using 5mm bungee that worked on a temporary basis for the diver.
