    Dive trip failed... what's your story?

    Computerized buoyancy control?

    Reminds me of AAD's in skydiving. Originally they were thought of as nothing more than another failure point. They've saved many lives, and they have taken some. I imagine an automatic buoyancy control device could have the same results. Most of it would come down to training and proper...

    What's your pony bottle configuration?

    I have experimented with various setups related to pony bottles, but the one that has always served me the best is setting it up just like a DIR stage bottle. I have an 80 rigged as a stage that way and also a 19cf as a pony. DIR-diver.com - Stagebottle rigging
