I've been shore diving Bonaire for 12 years now. I did 4 manifold double dives off a dock there once. This expirience convinced me that there was no way I was going to take on some Bonaire shore entries with doubles on my back - this would just asking for a busted ankle. Therefore, when I took my sidemount class, I decided sidemount, for my diving, was the way to go. There may be some instances where shore diving manifold doubles is easier but I don't think a blanket statement can be made that shore diving back mounted doubles is easier than shore diving side mounted doubles.
