How to put together Sidemount Regulators | Sidemount Regulator Setup

If you're learning to dive sidemount or getting your first set of regulators, you need to know how to assemble them so they can be used for a dive! I've gone over how to put together a long hose regulator setup and a double short hose setup. These are two common styles that are used, however there are more, and your instructor might have you dive something a little different!

Hi, I have a question. I’m buying my first sidemount bcd and regs (XDeep tec). I’m not diving with a dry suit initially but plan to eventually. Do I need to buy a special right first stage that doesn’t have a low pressure hose port, as I won’t be using a dry suit. Or do I just not plug in the low pressure hose (that normally connects to the dry suit) on the right first stage leaving an empty port on the first stage?

Great question! It's great that you are getting into sidemount diving! You definitely don't need anything special! You can have the exact same first stage, you just wouldn't need the LP hose on the drysuit side. You can always have it attached for redundancy, or you can remove the hose and plug the port. Once you get into tec diving I know a lot of divers will get a double bladder and use the additional inflator hose for that instead of a drysuit. Hope that helps!
