sidemount

In February I went to Protec and completed both Sidemount and Intro to Cave, but before I return next January for Full Cave I would like to get through AN/DP. Does anyone here have recommendations for a solid instructor here in Washington State who knows sidemount and can teach at a tech level...

Hi, I'm a fairly new diver. Within the next few years my hope is to begin cave training, but in the mean time I want to get plenty more open water practice. Hopefully this is the correct forum. I've been postponing purchasing my own BC, regulator, and computer/compass/gauge because I'm...

As the title suggests, am looking for a Stealth 2.0 Tec sidemount harness and bladder. Looking for a butt plate as well. Will accept a double bladder if the pricing works out. Thanks! Rob

Thought I would go this route for sidemount diving but decided to go XDEEP instead so my loss is your gain. This bcd has seem 9 dives in the Puget Sound with its previous owner in Vancouver B.C. This loop bungee buoyancy compensator is very well thought out and was developed for sidemount...

My impression (out of water) of the Mares XR Heavy Pure Sidemount Set was that's its quite robust, adjustable, great sliding D:rings and 3 areas for clipping on back of the tank. I didn't think I'd be able to reach the dump valve on the side. The rig felt comfortable on. Didn't wear any weights...

Hi all, I'm currently diving backmount with doubles. I got cave certified this year and I want to get sidemount certified so that I can dive the caves that require it. My idea is to only dive sidemount when it's needed or to train. This would mean that I have these two tanks that I could...

Hey guys! First post here so apologies if this is in the wrong place or has already been posted (I couldn't find it if it has been)! Bit of background before I jump into the problem I want your help with if possible :). I've been lucky enough to dive all over the world for the past 10 years -...

2x Apeks XTX50 second stages, 2x Apeks DST first stages, 2x Apeks small gauges, and the hoses shown. Bought in 2014, used on 50-ish freshwater dives. Some hoses are not original, if that matters. Let me know if you have questions or need more pictures of anything. Not abused, and just...

The original XDeep Stealth. Used on around 50 cave dives. Currently sized for someone 5'11", ~170 lbs, although of course you can adjust everything. I replaced the dump valve with one from DSS. $200 obo. Shipping via UPS Ground, buyer pays half the shipping cost, up to max $20.

Hello there ! :happywave: Quick background story (you might want to skip) : Quite new on the scene of diving, i totaled 150 dives after my divemaster training, after which i did a SSI REC Sidemount and logged 5 dive with this setup, very happy with it, i am now leaning towards going full...

hi there! I was wondering about this system in cold water using two steel 100s and one 80 alum bottle with a aqualung fusion dry suit. I currently dive doubles back mount and also sometimes take a 80alum or 40 alum bottle with me so Hopefully someone here can answer if this system is able to do...

Selling my Nomad LT. It's an older version but in like new condition. I bought it from a local diver who said he only dived it a hand full of time. I only dived if for my sidemount course so I would estimate that it has been wet fewer than ten times. Asking $150.00. If paid paypal friends and...

Hi, I am considering getting a new sidemount BC which I can use in both cold and warm water, and with multi-stages. I am looking at Scubapro X-tek sidemount 20 LT and Xdeep Stealth 2.0 TEC. I've seen a lot of people using Xdeep Stealth 2.0 TEC. I didn't find many reviews for X-tek sidemount...

Looking to order my first drysuit in a month or two. Was wondering, is there an ideal position for sidemount diving? Afraid of tanks being in the way if pockets are in the default position. Thanks!

Hi All, Been looking through this site from time to time when Ive had questions, but this is my first post. Im planning a cave dive soon and will be brining my camera. I'm just wondering in other peoples experience what is the best way to stow a camera in SM config. Some factors:- - I will...

I've recently been thinking of getting a pair of own sidemount cylinders but am not sure whether it makes sense. My local shop charges $20 to rent one, so each outing ends up costing me $40. They're Nitrox filled and I don't have to worry about maintenance and storage. Aluminum tanks with...

SOLD

So i am looking for thoughts and opinions from experienced sm and cave divers who have used either or both Rigs. And the upsides/downsides they found with both. With cave diving in mind I am looking at a new sidemount rig and I cannot make up my mind about what would be better suited. Also...

Halcyon Contour SM50 In excellent condition, comes with additional weight pockets that can fit 20lbs in total. Let me know if you have more questions. SOLD
