Since I decided to give up my bulky but very easy to dive double breather ( not the only one as I can see on various, including Dr Mike's one ), I feel a little bit unconfortable to deal with the buoyancy of with my sidemounted BOB when ascending.
I RD dive only in cave diving and wear my sidemounted over the soulder à la Fred Badier ou Xavier Menniscus because the WOB is far better that way
Found two easy to dive solutions, regarding buoyancy prob:
- breathing on the sidemount several time during the dive and more specially on ascent.
- permanently compressing the BOB's counterlung (in my case by putting the breathing hoses inside the BOB as its possible with the design of my home made sidemounted ), so no more buoyancy prob at all but impossible to test the BOB during the dive ( just trust in it
) and I need few seconds for bailout so its more a deco only BOB.
Is it really necessary to say hat Im not completelly pleased with these solutions?
Any help wellcome more specially from who use a sidemounted BOB and dont bin it
.
Cheers
Marc
Well
