Hi all. I am currently a back mount OC diver with about 16 yrs experience and certs up to deco procedures. I dive in the Northeast and, as it happens, I have been blind in my left eye since birth. This has not impeded my diving to date, my main adjustment being to hang stages from my right side to ensure visibility of the short hose PG on the stage. I am now planning on taking sidemount training with Cavern, followed, at a later date, by Basic and Full cave. I believe I would need to use a longer (standard OC length) PG hose on the left side tank in order to ensure visibility in light of my limited field of view to the lower left. My question is: Do standards permit this accommodation, or would this be a disqualifier for Cavern/Cave sidemount training?
Thanks!
Thanks!
