Hey all:
I need your advice please. I am adding a pony bottle to my gear because all of my buddies are also photographers which practically makes us solo divers at least during part of each dive. I want a redundant air source and I am doing it.
That said, I need to decide whether to have the pony bottle as a DIN set-up or yoke. Do you have practical reasons for one versus the other?
My tanks are all HP steel and so my primary reg setup is DIN. I am converting my old regulator to the pony bottle and am buying a brand new regulator which will definitely be DIN. I must decide whether to convert my old reg back to yoke to fit the pony OR put a DIN valve on the pony tank.
Brainstorm please! What are the pros and cons of DIN or yoke on the pony bottle?
Thanks,
Deb
