Regulator set Each primary sidemount cylinder requires a regulator 1st stage, a regulator second stage and a submersible pressure gauge (SPG). The left hand cylinder will also include a low-pressure inflator (LPI) for BCD inflation. If a drysuit is used, the drysuit inflator will be attached to the right hand cylinder.

The Halcyon RB80 is a non-depth-compensated passive addition semi-closed circuit rebreather of similar external dimensions to a standard AL80 scuba cylinder (11-litre, 207-bar aluminium cylinder, 185 mm diameter and about 660 mm long).
Sidemount divers may use a butt-pack, a clip-on bag worn behind the diver below the harness and buoyancy comprnsator, that is unclipped and brought forward for access. Position, size, shape, closures, and accessibility are important for the function of carrying equipment, and possible interference with other equipment should also be considered.
Breathing performance of regulators – Capacity of breathing regulators to function as specified; Rebreather – Portable apparatus to recycle breathing gas; Scuba manifold – Scuba component used to functionally connect diving cylinders; Sidemount diving – Diving using equipment configuration where scuba sets are clipped to the diver's sides
Buoyancy compensators are also used with rebreathers. In most cases back-mounted technical diving rebreathers use a wing type bladder integrated with the rebreather harness, with the bladder around the frame of the rebreather. Side mounted rebreathers tend to be suspended from the sides of side-mount harnesses, which include the buoyancy ...

Various sizes have been available, ranging from around 0.5 to 5 kg or more. The larger models are intended as ditchable primary weights, and are used in the same way as BCD integral weights or weight harness weighs, but clipped to the backplate or sidemount harness webbing, and the smaller versions are also useful at trim weights.
