===Sidemount=== {{main|Sidemount diving}} [[File:Top view of sidemount diver DSC 0078 Photo by Pete Nawrocky.JPG |thumb|Top view of diver with sidemount harness]] Side-mount harnesses support the cylinders by clipping them to D-rings or butt rails at the hip on either or both sides, and the cylinders hang roughly parallel to the diver's torso when underwater. The top of the cylinder is held under the diver's shoulder by a bungee, keeping it roughly parallel to the torso, and may also be clipped onto the harness in the shoulder area by a bolt snap for security. The harness usually includes a buoyancy compensator bladder. It is possible for a skilled diver to carry up to 3 cylinders on each side with this system.<ref name="Davis" />{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} ====Monkey diving==== Recreational diving configuration with only a single side-mounted cylinder.<ref name="Davis" />
