the boats i ever were: the SMlers hide in the rear somewhere fiddling stupid Cordura stuff (me, 3XL while broad BMs clog the entrys, companions and alleys with all their food and gadgets and excitement chatting about coloured seafood or her marriage dive holidays at Maldives......Having to buy two spaces on a boat with a widemount. SideMount 0, Backmount 1.
For the record: I wasn’t trying to start a flame war, just wanted to point out that each configuration mitigates different risks and one is not inherently safer than the other…

remember my first real proud moment as a diving father, when my OWD Girl age 14 entered the ladder to a croatian floating coffin. fully mounted she tried to enter deck when an austrian wellformed Mermaid plugging the whole entry groaned why she can´t be more canny... she blaffed her quite loud back, sorry, but i am back from diving... you should have seen the austrian wife husband laughing.
Now came the moment i was really proud. another older Austrian diver... grumpy the whole way to the dive spot, first in and just out, deco gases and dry suit already hung up... got up from his place, helped her gently with the BCD and tank. We had a very nice way back to harbour... it turned out that he was an old Instructor trainer from Graz... nice chatting about weather, gods, divesport
so, sidemounts are more philantropist when hide in the back
