I have been thinking of switching to sidemount. I've been diving doubles for over 2 years, and really like it. I dive with a halcyon plate and harness and like the simplicity. I am thinking of switching because of the freedom of movement and I like the positioning of valves vs. on my back. I have a few questions though:
I usually dive dry, how is managing the air inside the suit without the backplate? Also I usually use a small argon bottle, would it just be easiest to butt mount it?
I have 2 large pockets on my drysuit, how much of a hassle is it to get into them with the tanks running down your side?
Thank you
