The State Of Sidemount Diving | Master Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2024
- This is the introductory segment of our sidemount diving series, created to raise awareness and highlight the contrast with today's subpar mainstream sidemount practices. The forthcoming video series will focus on skills, best practices, and practical examples of often-overlooked sidemount techniques.
We cannot stress enough that sidemount diving involves far more than simply attaching cylinders to your side. Mastering efficient sidemount diving requires strong foundational diving skills and a significant amount of practice. This cannot be learned or mastered part-time, nor can it be achieved by diving only a few times a year. Overlooking the details and neglecting proper training will only put you in danger. Stay tuned for the upcoming videos that will delve into the details everything SM!

An interesting topic came up in the comments section about hose routing, and our friend Steve from @SidemountPros made an excellent video demonstrating the "drysuit inflator over the long hose" method. Check out the video here ua-cam.com/video/ULsVEKstzOY/v-deo.html and share your thoughts! If you're unfamiliar with Steve's work, you should definitely take the time to listen to his fantastic podcast, available on multiple platforms.
Thanks for the share and kind comments. We have to chat soon. I'll reach out via DM :)
Man.. the segment you shot without fins is insane. Only those know the level of control you are displaying here who tried this but let me tell you.. this is some next level diving right here
This man master trim and buoyancy like I never saw anyone do. I had the same thought as you, its very impressive
"curiosity eventually outweighted their sense of self-preservation" 😅... probably the story behind any innovation.
As always, great video!
2:15 "address the global problem of poor instruction" this is beautiful that you did this exercise with people learning skills on their knees behind you
You guys have best quality diving training i've ever see. Please keep going as youre doing. Greatings from Colombia!
I really love your videos. I'd like to point out a tip you could try: your light cord looks uncontrolled, so it can get entangled when clipping/unclipping tanks. Try to make sure the cord is under the harness passing under the belt and the wing lower bungee. This will make the light cord to come from right above your armpit and that the cord will be always controlled and protected.
Keep up the good job!
good point, that's exactly how we route the cable but I see on the video it got a bit crazy
Beautiful video! I would love to see more on sidemount!
@rafaeltab Thanks! We will be releasing lots more soon, so stay tuned.
Thank you for this video. As I have progressed in my sidemount diving I have had a real hard time finding good instructors and mentors in my area of Michigan. Even agencies like PADI don't even seem to teach some of the skills that I have seen on UA-cam and have had to practice and learn on my own.
As always a pure pleasure to see your video
just awesome
It's amazing that you guys finally addressing the mess there is surrounding the shit trainings and low quality instructors only doing this to follow a trend but not for any other reason
Glad you liked id
Once again Great video Great content, you guys are awesome thank you very much!
Glad you liked it, thanks for taking the time watching our videos
Awesomeness.. 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
So interesting to hear about the true origins.. I only see that sidemount is everywhere now but didn't realise where it was originating from... dry caving !
What a beautiful video!! I really wish the guys @DiveTalk would react and comment on it to spread the word!!
Thanks!
very enjoyable show off :D
Missed the premier 😢 your videos are so special I always feel like I need to be the first one to see it 😆 wow, wow and wow! What an amazing video again! I can only repeat myself, great quality, awesome shots, high level of skills, always full of useful and eye-opening info!! Love it, love the channel, love you guys! Keep up the brilliant work!
Next time!
Keep em coming!
Will do!
🎉🎉
@peter @flowstatedivers looks like tailor made content after my inquiry - will be a long 3 hours😂
Love your content guys!
thank you!
another good video! questions if you dont't mind. 1) i see your drysuit inflator hose is very long and you will extend it from the right to the left chest and plug it in to your drysuit inflation valve pointing to the left. why not just use a shorter hose and turn the drysuit inflation valve pointing to your right? 2) i see that you also put the drysuit inflator hose under your long hose. are you still able to completely deploy the long hose if you are doing it this way? will the cylinders valve extension not prevent the turret to turn outside?
You have a great eye for details. The inflator hose I used in the video was a quick fix and a last-minute replacement before we hit the water, as the one I normally use (which is shorter) accidentally broke.
@@flowstatedivers ah ok, no wonder, you tucked the drysuit inflator hose under your razor inflator hose to make it not flail around. 😀. as for the second issue, i.e. drysuit inflator hose over or under the long hose, i was trained drysuit inflator hose must be over the long hose and it is the only way for it not to be snagged. i tried the other way (under the long hose) and was snagged when i tried to turn the turret for the s-drill long hose deployment. i'm not good enough yet to tell what difference in the gear setup warrant for total opposite hose routing. i did see you are still using razor standard continuous bungee (i modded mine to be a loop bungee) but i don't think that's the difference...
@@joethong726 Hey to help here, the inflator over or under depends on where you stow the hose on the cylinder. If it is above the clip (as I do), the inflator hose must be over the long hose to deploy fully. If you locate the hose on the other side of the clip as seen in this video you need to have it under the long hose. No right or wrong there. Great video and role modelling Flow State as always :)
@@sidemountprosthanks！I can’t wait to test both methods in the pool next time !
You really lost me there. @2:20 he routed his suit inflator under the LPI - just BAU. Then long hose last, over everything. Again BAU. I cant imagine a scenario where my long hose would ever be under inflator hose/s... 🤔
2:14 How is your back-kick with NO FINS faster than my forward frog kick?? 🤦
Technique is everything
@@flowstatedivers 💯
