So I finally scored a pony bottle. 13CF for $65 used with fresh hydro, vip and fill.
Next logical question is the best use. I do not run an octo on my primary regulator because I use it to clean boat bottoms.
So I wanted a truly independent air source, for recreational dives, that if I or someone else ran out of air, or had other issues, its not as big of deal. 13CF should be plenty even If I ran out at maximum depth. Of course you all know the benefits of a truly redundant air supply.
So what I would like is a gauge, and octo on it, and mounted in a place I can get to it, and remove it if needed.
In my new scuba diver mind, this to me would be a front mount.
However there must be a reason they do not sell these?
Where are the best mounting locations?
Where can I mount a gauge so that it is not on its own hose, can I mount one directly on the stage 1?
