... of a cave, known as sumps, the diver is often required to waddle or clamber over slick or jagged rock floors. With 100 pound double sized tanks on their back this could be very dangerous. So the divers would carry the tanks through the dry portions of the cave and just attach it to their weight belt when they get to the dangerous portion of the cave. The next phase in the side-mounting history came when Americans began using side-mounted tanks to squeeze into low or narrow underwater cave passages too confined for traditional double-tank rigs.
