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?

0 - I don't dive sidemount
Do you use 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.Originally Posted by Marc Bryan
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.
75-99%
On occassion I'll toss a stab jacket on for a Gulf dive or powersnorkel a potential site(LOL).
+1 ?
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.
sidemount unless I'm teaching or being taught in which case I'm in doubles
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.
