The "modular bcd" or buoyancy device being used in this video, is a specialist "cave diving" piece of equipment, requiring specialist training. Sidemount buoyancy devices for "Open Water" diving environment will require more lift capacity; see the current "commercial" products like the Hollis SMS 100 or Dive Rite Nomad... Steve Martin, This video shows diving with a single sidemounted cylinder and open water diving skills using sidemounted configuration. Dives made using the Steve Bogaerts designed razor sidemount harness. Location Ponderosa, Mexico - filmed by Jason from www.scubavideoservices.com, edited by Steve from www.sidemountscubadiving.com

  • @ Alphaadivers. Cylinder is an Aluminium 80. They start getting buoyant at 130 to 140 BAR in fresh water. Thanks everyone who sent a comment.

  • um...bouyancy control... why dive with out a bc and a second reg.....well this diving is not like deep ocean diving so each to there own....Nice video. I am interested in this even thou I have never done it.

  • Please look a little closer at the video, there is an alternate regulator with a yellow hose bungeed on the cylinder, for emergency or buddy use. There is a small bcd located on my back its in grey, I only require a small amount of air in it and by breathing control does the rest.

  • Hello,

    Great video :)

    That doesn't look like a dry suit and I don't see a BC jacket or wing. What would you use for buoyancy control at depth?

  • Thanks for your comment - I am wearing a 5mm wetsuit and if you look closely there is a small bcd located on my back its in grey, I only require a small amount of air in it and by breathing control does the rest.
