Lately Ive been very fascinated with the idea of side mounting and would like to try it out. i don't do tech diving at least not yet, but i would still like to see if i could utilize this type of configuration on my recreational level. My first, question would be how easy of a transition it would be, do i really need to take a course to do this? i would imagine its the same as slinging a bottle right. only difference is you need to rout the lp inflator hose. My bouyancy and trim are pretty good as far as i can tell (i practice alot).
Also, what would be my best option for adapting my rig to side mount, i use a 28 lb singles wing with a steal BP and tank adapter. can i use this wing, how would i make it not taco? i know oms sells an adapter but is there any other way?
from what ive read i would also have to play around with my weight to compensate for not having evenly distributed loads. i have the equipment to run 2 tanks but would like to try it with just one (al80).....
so.... advice please...
