sidemount

Embark on a tranquil journey with this brief video, capturing the serene essence of my underwater adventures. Joining forces with two teammates, we navigate the…

My buddy want to explore sidemount, here’s my really newbie questions… Can I use hp100s steels? Do you need training like TDI course or sidemount it’s self learning. Is there a way I can reuse my halcyon backplate and just change the bladder for sidemount? I guess hose are the same as for...

Hi Guys, How do you route the canister light in sidemount setup? In Singles/Doubles, you put it at the right hip and route it from right hip to left hand. Do you do the same in Sidemount? I was told, I should route it from left of the butt to my left hand directly. Thanks!

Greetings. So I got the OrcaTorch TD01 about a month ago. I've been trying out a couple different light options so I figured I'd give the headlamp style a try. For those you are don't like to read....I actually really liked the light. It was bright, secure on my head and well made. For those...

I almost exclusively dive back mounted doubles here in Norway, and when I went to Dahab last year I was able to rent doubles, but many places in the world that's going to be tricky. I would prefer having redundant gas and regs in the 60-100ft range, especially when diving with random buddies and...

Didn't see a thread on this so thought I would ask. If you're diving a BM unit and are sidemounting bailout, how do you have that configured? Are you running loop bungees from the backplate and using a butt plate or metal stand to clip off the SM tanks? I've seen some premade options from...

Hello ! I'm sidemount certified and only dive recreational for now. However, I want to buy my own sidemount gear and get tec certified to cave dive in the future. This is why I would prefer buying tec equipment even though it will be for later. I was thinking of getting the xdeep tec 2.0 bcd...

Tried to go to Woody's room the other day and ended up going to NOT Woody's Room

Hi brains trust. A trip to Fiji is suddenly in my near future. Can anyone recommend a sidemount focused, or at least sidemount friendly, dive operation there?

I am thinking of buying a sidemount regulator set Apeks MTX-R Sidemount Regulator kit . My concern is that it says it is meant for nitrox of up to 40% max but then it mentions 100% oxygen. I am not clear of what this means exactly, but I have seen that there are nitrox specific regulators even...

Lightly used Light Monkey 5-12 light with 90 degree cable outlet. Configures great for Sidemount, belt mount or rebreather mount. One of the best all around lights ever made for diving and its made here in America with great support! Asking 300.00

I am looking for a regulator set to use for side-mount but there are many brands and models for it, so advice or insight would be appreciated it. (might be used for technical in the future) Most expensive to least expensive (from what I research so far) 1.) Apeks XTX50 - High standard, great...

Hello, I am looking forward to buying Xdeep Stealth 2.0 Tec but from what I've seen in various videos on youtube, there seem to be 2 versions of the wing. The first one is the one that has the Xdeep logo with the yellow X (left) and the other one which is less common is the one that has a big...

Hi all. My buddy and I just finished our TDI sidemount course and we are interested to find anyone else that's diving sidemount or twins around Oahu. Also plan on taking a decompression procedures course in the near future. Is there a sidemount/tech diving scene on island?

Selling this beautiful and barely used XDeep Stealth Tec 2.0 + Central Weight Pocket Long 4x5lbs (a 100$ upgrade - xDeep Central Spine Trim Weight Pocket for Sidemount). Barely any marks, comes with a line cuter on the left shoulder (may need a new blade - some rust). Price: 600$ + shipping...

Works just fine. I used to live in the Riviera Maya and used it for cenotes. I now live in CA and no longer need it. I'm asking 50, buyer pays shipping. I am located in 93950, but happy to estimate shipping for you.

Hi, I am recently new into Sidemount diving. I got a Nomad LS system and I dive aluminum tanks. My tanks are always pointing slight up on the back and I'm wondering how I can fix this. Some people put weights on their tanks and others prefer not to and believe weights should be on the diver...

I want to make a new sidemount rig for warm water boat diving with a pair of al80's. I build my own harnesses, but I need a wing. I figure 15-20lbs of lift from the wing will be plenty. I am leaning towards the Deco 22lb sidemount bladder I saw from @DevonDiver - the price is right - but I am...

Just wondering if a plastic card in sidemounting can be mandatory for some dive centers? For me, SM is quite intuitive and a cert would just be a proof of my skills.
