Bob, did you have any issues with flotation on the surface?
Well with the tanks to your side I was wondering if it was more difficult or different bobbing on the surface with the different configuration.

Yup ... me too ... and then I'd push the scooter off to the right, like I usually do. In backmount it rides there like a stage bottle. In sidemount ... at least for me ... the harness was finding creative ways to get trapped behind my right cylinder. In the past I've preferred that arrangement to between the legs, because it doesn't interfere with my fins when I kick. But that's just gonna be something I have to learn to deal with ...

Sounds like you need a sidemount scooter class.
With what I've heard from most of the scooter classes, I doubt it.Considering I haven't had any kind of a scooter class, I'd probably learn something ...
