I'm new to forum but primarily in favor of pony bottles on most dives with a buddy, not to extend dive but for emergency use. My one use saved me from DCS at a minimum due to equipment failure.My vote, unnecessary.
A diver should be able to calculate what’s on their back (or side) and set aside a minimum gas (reserve) for an emergency in their dive plan. The added weight, drag, and configuration would hinder a recreational diver more in an emergency than it would help.
All dive plans and ideas are welcome.
Side-note: I do not dive solo, so there could be a reason for those folks, but I’d like to keep this in the normal rec realm of scuba.
What I'm looking is a good mounting system for 13 cf tank on XDeep Zen backplate. Not a lot of backplate divers locally so no help here.
