Hello,
Got a question in regards to sidemount. I’ve started setting up my gear. Unlike the typical different second stages, I have an Omni swivel gas switching block between both first stages. If I’m using the SM setup on a boat where they are handing me down tanks, or me handing them up tanks, I’m trying to figure out the best way to prevent water from getting in the switching block, while making it easy to hand individual tanks. The one idea that my instructor and I thought of last evening was putting a quick disconnect between the gas block and one of the first stages, but the Omni swivel QD would leave the male side of the QD on the switching block and susceptible to water getting in.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: This is in regards to using a FFM with sidemount
