What is this gym you speak of?

I weight just over 120lbs. What talked me out of doubles other than the weight is the idea of the manifolld behind my head any a leak forming and I wouldn't know about.

[PfcAJ]

I don't weight much more than you, and I weighed about what you do when I started cave diving.

Gym.

I already have the gear and I don't have the money to switch. Though on a boat you have the advantage.

I think it's that place with the strange equipment.

[Sludge]

I've heard of manifolds leaking pretty much never.

I've had just enough to drink to forget my favorite quote from my fundies instructor. Something like "equipment solutions for training problems."

Side mount is in fact superior for cave diving. However, back mount is in fact superior for cave diving as well.

Backmount was origionally made for open water and was adopted for cave diving. Sidemount was made only for cave diving. They both can be used in a cave with different skill sets and they both have limitations. For me sidemount is for my cave diving and backmount is for open water.
