sidemount newbie tank question

[Walter Pickel]

I use 100s and 104s. My fiance just started side mounting 85s which has led me to now want another set of 85s. To me, they ride better than the 100s and do hold a wee bit more gas. Heiser 45s are pretty sexy too! Anyone have a couple they want to part with?

Thanks for all the info. I've got a chance to get a few more dives in. I'm using the pst 100 they seem to ride nice and feel pretty good. I'm going to try to rent a set of lp 85. That's what I was going to doing in the begining was buy a pair of lp 85. Also still want to try 95's too. I figured for now I would work on the dives them selves and placement of the other gear. Once I get more of that figured out and more comfortable I play with tanks more.

But I have to say so far I LOVE to SIDEMOUNT!!! I did some dives at Devils system this past weekend and stayed in the first 700ft on the mainline. And I did not realize how much more there was just in that first section that a sidemounter, you can look at, through and in.

Thanks to everyone

You'll never get my 45's!!!

Awesome tanks for certain things, Jug Hole comes to mind for one. I use them almost as much as my LP85's.

Ditto on that. I had a blast playing around in the front part of the cave when I started SM earlier this fall. Take a bunch spools and go off the line. Amazing how many tunnels lead back to the main line.
