Its the small grid too- illustrates nicely the low profile. Good catch on the snorkel. The snorkel was on to reinforce that what I was doing in the pictures was recreational sidemount diving not technical- check out my sidemount site for both.
I certainly teach technical sidemount up to and including hypoxic TMx- there are some cool tec pics on my tec instruction site.
Or am I just being too defensive? I'll answer and save you the trouble, of course I am! My ego is far too fragile for it to be otherwise.

You don't have to be defensive. I think sidemount is a great next step to diving that can be used for both rec and tech. Kind of makes alot of sense to a dive that might have back problems so they don't have to carry heavy tanks. To me it would be cool to be able to do some rec dives with a pair of 40 cf clinders rather than a single 80cf. I am just not a fan of a snorkel. They are great if might plan is to snorkel but if I am diving they are just in the way.
