What are Side mounts?

Side mounts are simply cylinders that strap to your sides instead of your back which makes them much more comfortable as you don’t put them on until you are in the water. Because they are on your sides they allow your back to bend and move freely unlike whey you use a normal cylinder. The fact you have two of them (one on each side) means you don’t need to worry about taking a pony bottle for back up air as you have a whole extra cylinder of air with you!

The BDC and harness you used with the side mounts are much more compact which makes travelling much easier and you need much less gear.

Side Mounts and Cave diving

Side mounts are very good for cave diving becuase they allow you more flexibility in the water and allow you to fit through much smaller gaps than you could ever manage with back mounted cylinders. Also because you have two clylinders you have plenty of air with you.

Here are some video's from his website so you can see for yourself . . .
