- ... order to continue in the cave system. Unhooking the tank from the B.C. and pushing it a head of you is not always the safest way to go through an opening where you don't quite fit. There is a new system that allows divers to carry tanks with them and not effect their hand availability or their vertical size. This method is called side mounting.
