I understand that side mount doubles is intended mainly for cave and wreck diving, but I'm wondering about it's use for recreational tropical water diving when only using one tank instead of two. Is this kind of setup doable for someone who is purely a recreational warm water and shallow ocean water (don't usually dive deeper than 60 feet) diver or just to much trouble and just better off strapping the tank to my back.
The only reason I even got interested in this whole side mount thing is I've been currently looking at replacing my current wing back inflate BCD with a travel size harness type like a Dive-Rite transpac or Zeagle Express Tech, which seems to open up side mount as a possibility.
And just so I'm clear here, I'm not really at this point interested in trying to learn the complexity of dealing and rigging two tanks, just moving the current take from my back to my side.
Appreciate any input ,
