Sorry,

I meant b/o's or stage bottles......

Thanks

You will just need a sidemount buttplate and a cylinder bungee strap for each cylinder you'll carry. Take a look at Fill Express' website for msrp -- you can get the kit for under 100 bones. When doing it that way, it'll keep your bailouts in the slipstream and will therefore be a lot nicer when swimming into strong flow... it does take a little more practice/effort to remove and replace the bottles (and you lose the area under your butt where you could place lift bags) but I think the trade-off is most definitely worth it.
