I'll be doing my first pony bottle dives /drills next week. I'll be looking forward to responses to reefraf's post. One question I have about shutting off the pony valve after charging and then breathing off of the reg before/as I turn the valve back on...
When diving, say to 130fsw,is it best to exhale through the reg rather than purging it in an OOA/catastrophic failure to avoid using any more bail out air than necessary via purging? (assuming I'd taken a breath from my backgas prior to a failure). Also what techniques are used to avoid accidental purging of a pony reg while diving if the hose is charged? Are there reg covers available, etc.?
Thanks.
