pony

I almost exclusively dive back mounted doubles here in Norway, and when I went to Dahab last year I was able to rent doubles, but many places in the world that's going to be tricky. I would prefer having redundant gas and regs in the 60-100ft range, especially when diving with random buddies and...

I'm currently looking into a Redundant Air Supply for recreational diving, and the only thing I'm unsure about is what size of tank to get. I've researched this enough to know to stick to 19cu or above. For Context: Most of my ~35 dives are solo, and around 30-60ft. I'm comfortable at 100ft...

Here is a set of regulators for sale. I purchased it along with a collection of tanks. It's a Hog D2 Yoke first stage, an Edge second stage with yellow mi-flex hose and predive/dive venturi adjustment, an Oceanic Swiv SPG with temperature gauge and aftermarket boot and a BCD inflator hose. It...

I'm looking for advice on this diving equipment. This is what I own: 13mm Semi-dry. Boots, gloves, hood. Northern Diver ''Power fins''!! (regular Fins). Regular mask. I first dived in 2018. I have been training to dive since last October. I have recieved my CMAS* Certification and unfortunately...

Hey solo beach divers and Venice tooth divers... do you drag a pony along? We’re talking 18-25 feet here, a short CESA maybe, but a beach hike for sure. I have a hard enough time hiking minimal gear, I’m thinking no pony. Your thoughts?

Two Scubapro Regs: MK20, S550, Air2 MK2, R395, R395 octo This is really three questions: 1) Given these two regs, which would you make your primary and which make a pony? 2) Given these two regs, would you combine second stages make a setup with a long, or long-ish hose and necklaced short hose...

I will be diving with the local club in the quarry this weekend, and since temps are projected to be <40F and I'll be without my regular buddy, I'm opting for redundant air. This will be my first time carrying redundant air of any kind, so I'm renting an AL40 setup from the LDS. My BC is the AL...

I am new to technical diving and completed my first tec course and wanted to set up a dedicated Deco bottle or two with MOD stickers. I dive COLD Freshwater and if I'm going to travel to salt water I am not bringing tanks. Where I am typical banked Nitrox is 32% O2 and if I'm going to run a...

Southern MD. The tank hydro is good to Aug 2020. The regs are a DC1/212 with braided hose long enough to go behind the neck and a 90 deg swivel. I also use an on off switch for staging the bottle (somewhat controversial but can be removed easily). I have a bungie on the neck and the clamp, side...

Hi all Do you have an SPG on your pony bottles? If yes is it a button gauge or on a hose?

What should one think about these pony valve 1st stage regulator combos, e.g. like these: Drysuit / Deco Bottle First Stages Or like this on the low end: Balance Piston Din First Stage Not sure there is even a manufacturer mentioned. Is that a potentially (for a travelling pony) a worth while...

I do some solo diving and therefore carry several items for safety/redundancy. I find that the pockets in the BC (Zeagle Stiletto) are not large enough to pack all the items. I carry several cutting devices including a knife, scissors, and a line cutter, SMB, finger reel, extra dive mask, two...

So I was trying to decide between mounting or slinging a 13cf pony tank today (I would like to sling it but general opinion seems to be it's too short for that). Anyway, I came across this weird thing. Kind of a cool idea if the system as a whole is reliable. Wondering what folks here think...

Hi all I just ordered a 19cuft pony from my local diveshop. It comes with a tank mount bag. I have a few questions 1. Will I need to add trim weights on the other side of my tank to offset the pony? 2. I assume that I will be able to carry less (lead) weights since the pony will now count as...

I'm a novice diver and have decided to start diving with a pony. Most, if not all, of my diving will be warm water rec diving to 30m. I have my own kit, and recently bought a reg, SPG and sling to travel with. The dive ops I use rent out 3 liter tanks - though I'm toying with the idea of buying...

I was recently told to keep the valve on my pony bottle open so that water can't enter the first stage regulator. Is this right? I keep the valve closed to insure that the pony doesn't have a chance to leak and will be full in case I actually need it.

Scubapro MK2 Evo with a R195 second stage and an Oceanic swivel SPG with temp gauge. Reg is in good shape and had not been used much. The SPG has a few scratches on it but you can't see them underwater. $215 shipped to the US

My first post so be kind:) My primary setup is a Hollis BP and S38 Wing, 7' Primary Reg, Atomic SS1 Octo. I'm thinking of picking up a 30cu Pony attached to my HP 100 with the reg for the Pony attached to a collar bungee around my neck. Therefore I would use my primary as a out of air, use my...
