T5 introduces you to the world of Sidemount Diving—a configuration where two cylinders are carried comfortably along your sides instead of on your back.
Originally developed for cave exploration, sidemount has evolved into one of the most versatile and efficient diving configurations, now widely used in every area of technical diving. Its superior balance, streamlined profile, equipment accessibility, and built-in redundancy make it a favorite among experienced divers.
