- How to rig your tanks for Sidemount Diving. On his previous episode, Josh introduced you to the world of Sidemount Diving, how it differs from back mounted diving and what the benefits and advantages are. This episode Josh will start to introduce you to the necessary gear and knowledge you will need to assemble a sidemounted cylinder, starting with how to rig the tank to be ready to attach to you. Josh will review a conventional method using the Dive Rite Travel Stage Kit, and then introduce you to some great ideas on two DO IT YOURSELF methods! Links below are for the various equipment he talks about in the show!

Thank you for the very instructive vidéo showing several different options.
Fantastic explanations, thanks . Have a better understanding now
Nice, most videos are for people who already know about sidemount. I recently got certified after 12 years of backmount diving and now got my own full set that I managed to set up without any manuals (why don't they add those!)
So this video is super helpful!
I’m wanting to get into side mount soon, great video!
Bro thank you, u covered many things. I did not DIY mine, but I thought about it lol.
But u reached many viewers, to show them diving is not for the rich. But can be done many ways, if u want to dive.
There is always someone that will give you the shirt off their back. This is what diving is!!
Thank you for this video. Really helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks.! I'm new sidemount diver, really good and helpful ideas......
Excellent thanks
I’m older , not diving so often. So I just saw a diving video by a doctor talking about folks like me. Side mount was one of the big suggestions. I had just bought a 100CF tank. Thinking that’s a bit big . Then I see folks side tanking with one
Thanks, Josh you made that look really easy. I really like the DIY option you presented. It's refreshing not to have a single product plugged in the entire video. I too am cheap, I'm called "the garage sale diver" lol. Great info thanks again.
Glad you found the video helpful. There are so many options to rig tanks, we wanted to cover the rigging we use.
I have been subbed almost since I got my OW I got my side mount cert a few weeks ago your channel has been instrumental in my growth as a diver
Ivory congrats on your sidemount cert! Thank you for your kind words! We love to hear we inspire other divers!
Hi Josh, great video! Can I ask the reference of the cam band you're using in the DIY travel kit? I love your setup but can see my own cam bands won't slide through a D-ring blockers like yours (sewed in).
Thanks for this amazing video :) Would you recommend starting out with a sidemount setup right away, or should I initially learn diving with the traditional backmount setup?
Sweet looking at setting one of my aluminum 80cf tanks similar as a dedicated lift bag inflator. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
Could you give me a recommendation to set the distance between the vaulve and t he fixed ring of the thanks, since I,m short 1.65 m and I still can not avoid that the empty thanks float far from my body. Thank you so much. Vanesa
How did you create the nylon line + double bolt snaps in the DIY setup?
did you do the video on the harness?
Nice to see someone built like me so I can do that !!!!
In the third system - how do you determine where to set the camband/lower bolt snap?
I'm asking because at this point I don't have my own tanks and therefore use dive center tanks.
Generally I start near the midpoint of tank with the tank band above the boltsnap leash. This depends on your harness setup, for me that works to get close, then I can adjust from there. I know some divers who measure the distance and always setup the same, others, especially those renting tanks, just get it close and dive
Hello Josh, any chance you can do a video for single side mount set up?
Yes Francis, we will go over single tank sidemount setup in an upcoming video. Thank you, Josh
thank you so much for this - how can I buy you a beverage of your choice
Thank you for watching and the kind words, we are happy to hear you like the video
Thanks josh! What tanks are you using? Thanks!
H Peterson, for most of my dive plans I use Faber galv. LP85s. They are a great size, have great buoyancy characteristics, and sometimes get filled to 3000psi “accidentally”. When renting tanks it is almost always AL80s. Thanks for the question, Josh
I don't see an 'upcoming video on bungees'; at 4 min into the video I'm wondering what the real purpose is of the 'tank choker' to tie off the upper clip, I thought the upper clip went to the upper d-ring of the BCD.
Thanks Hojo in SC, we have not posted the Sidemount bungee video yet. Once you see the Dive Rite bungee ring system the choker will make more sense. Keep watching, Josh
@@everythingscuba any updates on that video? Would love to learn why some use two bolt snaps on the tank and some use just the bottom one and secure the top with the bungee off their BC
Excellent video!
best explanation ever!
these tanks are going to be DANGLING all over the place
Nice video about HOW NOT TO DO it !!!
Lots of scope to make huge improvements to that rigging configuration if it's to be used with aluminium cylinders. Little expertise on display. There needs to be far more attention to detail and principled methodology with configuration. The current best practices offer far better performance and user-experience. Most of the kit described, especially the cylinder rigging, would be firmly discouraged to my own students; it's amateurish and sloppy. I wouldn't want them impeded by poor gear performance when on courses with steep learning curves.

With this setup, you'll never get 'em sitting the correct way.
