Ok well, when a diver with a reputation decides to get into the manufacturing/marketing biz, "designs" a rig (I doubt they ever really do much of the actual designing), and then uses it on future dives---
I take that as advertising a product for sale. Not an endorsement that the community had adopted or accepted the product.
A good enough diver can dive in just about any rig. Someone using a particular rig because they're paid to do so is nothing more than painting a logo on a nascar.
With that---is there any other example of the SMS or any Hollis product used for serious sidemount diving?
I'm sorry, but until convinced otherwise I just don't see it in the same category as the others.
