CMAN:I don't really care about hearing how a 19 is to small
I agree with Nimrod if doing no deco dives. I sling a 19 when I dive the deeper wrecks in Lake Huron and (just for practice) I came up from 120 ffw using the pony and with stops at 60 & 30 ffw for over a minute each and a stop at 15 ffw for five minutes and I had just under 500 psi left in the tank. I do like slinging the pony because I can monitor it (gauge, leaks), be able to hand it off, and I hardly notice its there.
motorcitydiver:I have a 19 cf pony bottle that I recently acquired. I want to start using it but I'm not exactly sure how to set it up to carry. I dive with a BP/W and mostly a single tank. I've seen divers that carry pony's in the front and others with brackets on their tanks. What are the pros and cons? Does anyone have photos or a web site for information on how to sling the bottle?
