never said safe...I said chamber or morgue. Im relatively confident most divers wont give a **** about assent rates and NDL protocols during a CESA. All they will care about is getting to the surface. At that point, math doesn't matter.

Not well written on my account, but what was in my head made sense so I'll try again for clarity. If one calculates the pony to replace their back gas at any point the back gas becomes unavailable one needs significantly more than if they only need enough to assist a CESA. This should be a personal choice based on knowledge rather than a product brochure.
If it wasen't him some unknowing newbie would take an undeserved beating, although these threads are getting more civil over time. Catch ya on the next one.

I know a guy that has two 120 cu. ft. HP tanks that he wears on his sides. Now as he said "I have enough air for my self and some left over for two other drivers", these are his pony two bottles. Yes, he said this in jest. "If anyone wants to laugh let go ahead and laugh." Do what feels right for you and walk away.

You could always use the spare air to block the beak!
Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!
But what about the others? You are going to need a lot of SpareAirs for that as they don't hunt alone.
AFAIK, Scott Cassell had two dive with squid, one of which he had some sort of suit that looked like their prey (can't find the video). That ultimately wound up in the category of "bad idea."
Night diving in the Sea of Cortez in September isn't the smartest thing one could do.

Just put together my first pony with DIY sling, 16 cu ft (2 litre 232bar faber - surprisingly small), for my usual local 20m max depth diving. Can't wait to take it out.
I think there is no way around a pony or doubles if you after independence/redundancy beyond CESA assistance, but I'd rather have a spare air to sip on than absolutely nothing should things go wrong. I just think that if you bother carrying something extra, it may as well do the job properly.
