So you don't have the desire/skills to conduct team based dives? Why you seem to take that as an insult is beyond me.
The question isn't why a bunch of guys who don't want to dive with others shouldn't take pony bottles (they probably should), the question is why competent teams can't dive together without pony bottles in NJ. My teammates are perfectly happy and capable of offering gas if needed. This is the case whether I'm in a single or doubles.
You asked the question, we offered answers, you took them and insulted us. You are looking for fight. Clearly you don't want answers you just want to make your point that you think the requirement is "silly". Cool, good for you, Jersey won't be offended if you cross it off your "to do" list.
