Embracing Sidemount: My Dive Evolution into 2025
As I move into 2025, I’m making a bold shift in my diving journey. From now on, I’ll be exclusively sidemount diving, exploring new depths and refining my skills. Sidemount offers unmatched flexibility, comfort, and access to gear, and I’m excited to embrace its potential. The only time you’ll see me in a single tank backmount setup will be when I’m teaching recreational divers. Here’s to a new chapter in my diving career, focusing on efficiency, safety, and pure adventure!

      I have been SM diving for about 5 years now. I would always just SM dive even if it was single tank SM diving. Then the last year for no reason why I just stuck to back mount diving. The last few weeks I went back to side mount and was reminded how much easier it is on my back. I dont have back problems but silly me for not going to the configuration I knew I enjoyed diving. From now on I am going to side mount dive as much as possible. I will even single tank side mount dive for when I am teach recreational classes. I am planning a dive to Chuuk for January 2026 so I am going to do much more diving in the sidewinder. You will love the sidewinder once you get it.

      @@andrewxbg Good question I went to 150 for 25 minutes and I was also carrying a 40 of 60% O2. Multi-deco indicates 14 cuft of 21% and 36 cuft of 60%. I plugged in a very conservative sac rate so I felt I had plenty of gass for the dive to test the dedicated bottles. Normally I would use my steel 50s and my 40 of 60% when I am doing anything to 150 ft.
