    Default Do you use sidemount?

    It has been about six months since the last sidemount poll, so I thought it was time to revisit.

    This one will be a little different. Just pick one. What percentage of your dives are made in sidemount?

    One problem with this poll is the title. A lot of backmounters may not even open the thread, since they won't think it applies to them.

    Does sidemounting bailout count? When I dive CCR I have my same SM rig on and bottles except there is a CCR on my back. Just curious.

    Ever surprised by the amount of holes involved in cave diving.

    I counted it!

    still in a side mount setup, I just have a CCR tool on my back which could be dropped like the scooter or stage

    I backmount when I teach students who are also backmount. Otherwise, it's all sidemount, even when I'm doing a single cylinder dive.

    The other problem is there is no 0 option.

    Forrest or another Mod, can you add a zero option? I was certain I picked 6 questions, and had a zero, but obviously my mad cow is flaring up. Can you also change the title to do you use sidemount?

    CCR sidemount counts. I am trying to determine what overall percentage of divers use some form of sidemount, and how frequently. I don't care why.
