For technical divers, they are familiar with two ways to help them cave diving and carry their tanks into a cave. They are back-mount and side-mount. Of course, they also need dive lights.


Generally speaking, when most cave divers try to through a small and dark cave, they often use back-mount two tanks. Because it's adequate to help them through a cave. On the contrary, it's a little dangerous for them to carry side-mount tanks. Because alongside your body, with a tank carried under each arm, what may look embarrassed on the surface is an enjoyable and versatile system underwater. Actually, for cave divers, this will increase the space on both sides of the body, and side-mount does take some time to get used to, especially swapping regulators every so often to ensure equal gas usage. So it's less popular for now. But it may likely replace traditional back mount setups in the future.
