Sidemount Setup & Configuration
Regulators:
For sidemount teams:
· First stages with a turret head and ideally a port hole on the top i.e.: Dive Rite 3000 or Apeks DST
· 21inch/55cm to 30inch/75cm LP hoses depending on divers size
· 90°elbow between hoses and second stage
· Second stages that deliver from each side i.e. Apeks XTX50 or from right tank a 40inch/100cm hose with a 90° elbow and another second stage that delivers from the right
· 6inch/15cm or 9inch/23cm Hp hoses with bootless compact or standard SPG's
· Stainless Steel (SS) clips or bungee necklace to secure second stages
· 6inch/15cm or 9inch/23cm LPI hose
For mixed teams:
· Same as above but right tank features a 7ft/2m long hose
Tank mounting:
· SS hose clamps or cam bands with SS clips to secure lower end of the tank
· Bungee Cord to secure tank valve close to the armpits
· Modular Tank (left/right) valves are preferred with the orifices pointing towards the diver
Primary Light:
· Butt mounted primary light cannister is touching the thighs for maximum streamlining and to not add to the over all profile of the diver
· Light canister can be secured with bungee loops to the crotch strap which enables the diver to remove and replace it easily under water
Back up Light:
· Can be stowed in pockets, pouches or mounted on the helmet
Helmet:
· Is used mainly as a third hand holding the light when laying line or surveying which makes it really only a must for diving very small cave or exploring
· Crucial for protection when using a DPV in the overhead environment
