I've seen a few pics of 'high ranking' GUE divers in personalized XDeep sidemount rigs
From Quest, I gathered that it's basically something that you'd do above Cave 2 level...for dives that require sidemount (i.e. too restricted for backmount) and would not be mixed-teams. GUE doesn't have a training system (yet?) for sidemount... especially as they cannot reconcile procedures with existing backmount protocols (that's wisdom...)... so they suggest seeking sidemount training from a reputable sidemount instructor. If you're at a level, in GUE, to be needing sidemount... then you probably would know who those sidemount instructors are...
