Frequently Asked Questions
Sidemount diving is a scuba diving configuration where divers wear their tanks on their sides, typically one on each side of their body, instead of on their back like in traditional back-mounted diving. This configuration offers advantages in terms of buoyancy, streamlining, and access to equipment.
Sidemount diving offers several advantages, including improved buoyancy control, easier access to equipment, reduced strain on the back and shoulders, better streamlining, and increased gas redundancy with multiple tanks.
Sidemount diving can be suitable for both beginners and experienced divers. Many dive agencies offer sidemount training courses, and it can be an excellent choice for divers who want to learn good buoyancy control from the start. However, it’s important to receive proper training to ensure safety.
Sidemount divers use a specialized harness, sidemount BCD (buoyancy control device), and regulators designed for this configuration. The main difference is the way tanks are attached and carried, with each tank having its regulator. Additionally, there are specific accessories like bungee cords and clips used for hose management.
Sidemount diving has its advantages, but it also has some limitations. It can be more complex to set up and requires additional training. It may not be the best choice for every diving scenario, such as extremely deep or technical dives. Additionally, not all dive shops or dive destinations may support sidemount diving, so logistical considerations should be taken into account.
