Does your team still backmount your redundant gas?

Many scuba divers now backmount their redundant gas supply on their primary cylinder. However, this method can create a few problems, like limiting the size and visibility of the gas supply and posing entanglement hazards. Alternatives are available, such as rigging redundant gas like a stage or deco cylinder, which allows for greater gas capacity and easier access. This method also improves safety when managing emergencies. However, it requires training to ensure divers properly understand the new setup to maintain safety and efficiency.
