Thanks for your input, you also covered another question I had brewing. You said you learnt side mount about 20 dives into your rec experience. Do you think that if I was to want to learn any kind of twin cylinder set up, to do it sooner rather than wait a while ? Is the learning curve as much to say you’re learning to dive almost all over again ?
Thanks again 👌

It took a couple dives to be comfortable in the water. A couple dozen to be very comfortable gearing up.
I think that sidemount sets you up for the cylinder handling and gas changes of tech diving while also being easier than backmount in general.
Unlike some divers I much prefer it off boats of any size.
