I know we have multiple threads about ponies.
Just an informal little survey after a recent chat with friends and observing other divers out at the quarry.
Do you see people diving with pony bottles?
Where I've dived - the local quarry and Lake Michigan - I see a fair number of divers with them. One fellow I've seen several times lately had a small - 13cft, maybe - pony that had a very nice marbled red finish.
Folks I dove with yesterday: 2 had 40cft ponies. I had my 30cft. One was SM.
Seems like the serious cold(er) water divers I know of tend to have them if they're diving single tank BM and carry them habitually even if in warmer water.
The warm water, vacation only divers I know have never seen another diver with one.
