SIDEMOUNT

Sidemount diving is a configuration where diver(s) wear their tanks at their sides rather than on their back. Originally developed for cave explorers needing greater flexibility and access in tight spaces, sidemount has become popular for both recreational and technical divers. The approach emphasizes streamlining, comfort, and simplicity while providing redundancy and easier control of multiple tanks.

• Increased comfort and flexibility: Tanks are easier to don and remove in the water
• Improved trim and buoyancy: Streamlined profile enhances control and reduces drag
• Redundancy: Independent gas supply from separate tanks increases safety for both recreational and technical dives
• Accessibility: Better access to valves and regulators, especially important for troubleshooting or emergency procedures
• Reduced back strain: No need to carry heavy tanks on the back when entering/exiting the water
