However, most sidemount divers find it less than ideal. The best solution is to attach the Deco Sidemount wing directly onto the harness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"scuba-b4-h2-2\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" id=\"scuba-1308507569\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2393012471\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Items-you-will-need\"><\/span>Items you will need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These instructions assume you are upgrading an existing sidemount harness for the Deco Sidemount wing.

As an <a href=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/what-is-diving-experience-diving-expertise\/\">experienced diver<\/a> who has used this wing for the past six years, I can attest to its affordability, lightweight, low bulk, and ample buoyancy for a pair of aluminum sidemount cylinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as many sidemount divers have asked me, configuring a Deco Sidemount harness with a permanently attached wing can be a challenge. In this article, I&#8217;ve detailed how to assemble the right sidemount harness hardware to create a robust solution for securely attaching the Deco Sidemount wing to your harness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may need to invest in some new sidemount hardware, the effort is well worth it to have the peace of mind that your wing is permanently attached. So, if you want to take your <a href=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/sidemount-diving-techniques\/\">sidemount diving<\/a> to the next level, give the Deco Sidemount wing a try with this recommended harness configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"scuba-b4-h2-3\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" id=\"scuba-929845723\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6151212517\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buy-my-%E2%80%98Sidemount-Principles-For-Success-ebook-now\"><\/span>Buy my &#8216;Sidemount: Principles For Success&#8217; ebook now!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-vertically-aligned-top\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/andydavistech\/e\/111242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"794\" height=\"1247\" src=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COVER-IMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"Sidemount: Principles For Success eBook\" class=\"wp-image-19341 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COVER-IMAGE.jpg 794w, https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COVER-IMAGE-191x300.jpg 191w, https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COVER-IMAGE-652x1024.jpg 652w, https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COVER-IMAGE-768x1206.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);\"><strong>My comprehensive guide to sidemount configuration and development as a diver.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);\"><strong>178 Pages.
