Does buoyancy and proper trim come easier with backmount as opposed to sidemount?

ya know, ya try to be helpful.

People says its better to say nothing than to look a fool.
Me, I would rather people thought I was a fool so long as I was learning something.
And its never a bad thing to help people, just make sure you are helping, and not trying to help (as Yoda said, there is no try).

SM is like the ballet of diving in my opinion.
My approach is no less intense as my BM diving.
Striving to perfect trim, and master skills, keep your awareness sharp.
The main difference for me is the optimum; weighting,trim,hose routing, clean profile, the correct tanks that fit for the person involved.

What I have learned is that many tanks work for a given individual but some work very very well.
SM is a method that takes practice to master.
Its been a awesome training time and great dives with friends.
All of our endeavors in diving lead to good friends, great dives, many awesome memories.

Did you get everything sorted out trim wise?

In the video your right tank is obviously riding lower than the left one. Obvious, but how evenly are you breathing them down?

Yes, so much to learn.

Have not been back in the water yet.
Instructor is away until tomorrow and then I am away for a week.

I prob put the right tank lower to try to stop the slight roll.
Its was almost perfect but the difference in weights may have been the problem.

Any update on your sidemount struggles? Enjoyed reading the issues but eager about the resolutions. Hope all is well with the diving!

Great White hasn't logged in since June. Try sending a PM, that should send him an email, assuming he didn't opt out of that feature.

Gotcha, thanks. This is the reason I don't bump too many old threads as I'm viewing them. Hopefully he didn't give up.

I think it is mostly because he is from Australia.
