New Pony Bottle!

Codiak, It is not off topic. Divers use these ponies without fully understanding the subject. I have seen these ponies run dry because of open valves and other mistakes before getting into the water. I have seen firsthand divers with ponies OOA, going for the pony only to find that they are empty or nearly empty. I am not even going to talk about deco related issues. I highlighted the possible problems.

After using this in the Lake a few dives it worked great. Once clipped on it was fairly out of the way. I knocked it on a few rocks but was not bad once I paid attention to the thing hanging there.

I really like those button gages, but they are very susceptible to being damaged. The guage face sticks out and can become scratched easily. I have added a piece of pvc pipe that slipped over the gage and sticks out past it a little for shock and scratch protection.

I wonder if a piece of the right size garden hose or plastic hose slipped over the guage and sticking out from the face for 1/2inch would work as well?

That is a good point as I did notice it protrudes out making it likely to get beat up.

Nice.

Recently, I added an octo holder to my pony setup to keep the reg from getting loose. It works pretty good. Your reg looks like mine did prior to the oct holder.

Yet another great idea! Thanks.
