How I Setup Sidemount Bottles {[Doubles vs Singles]}
• How I Setup Sidemount ...
There is no set standard when it comes to Sidemount configurations. What works for one diver, based on his or her choice in BCD / First Stage / Hose Configuration, may not work for the next. Especially if that diver decides to travel while diving Sidemount. Now let's add in a Sidemount diver switching between two cylinders to a single cylinder. In today's video, Instructor Trainer Bryan Stafford shows how he sets up both double cylinders and single cylinder Sidemount, and he explains how he compensates when using non dedicated valves.

    Thanks Brian! You said it, “Set up the way I like them” that’s what I love about Sidemount. Safe travels to Cozumel, looking forward to your videos!

    Thank you for a great video. I just finished my SSI book work and can’t wait to take the class. I got a little taste of it trying the Mares Herizon and I was hooked. Great job and keep up the good work!

    Good stuff. Love the setups and need to re-do my stage soon too. (There are a few of us side mount divers here in Bermuda. Come on down!)

    Hello JoshuaDircks, if I ever can catch a break, I would like to come to Bermuda to do some diving. My schedule stays booked.

    I don't know how many lives that cat has But you sure know how to skin one.... lol . I especially appreciated when you were talking about the standard bungie's and how you had to do the reach around... I got scared I thought we were talking about doubles for a second... with love...heeee

    Hi, another great video. I'm currently gearing up to start my sidemount journey. I need to order my tank valves so I can have a left and right valve with extended post. I want to have the ability to do doubles in the future so I'm assuming the extended post is essential for that. I also want the ability to utilize one of the tanks if I'm just doing a single tank dive. My question is about long neck vs standard neck. I'm looking at the dgx modular valves and with the information provided above, my assumption is that I want the standard neck. What are your thoughts on that? I also noticed that your left tanks spg is on a shorter hose 6inch and your right side on a slightly larger hose, possibly a 9inch. Is that intentional?

    Hello @tvelocidad, either valve will work just fine. For my high pressure hoses, I use the 6 inch Carbon HP hose from XS Scuba. The part number is MHP06-CN
