I just received this month's Alert Diver magazine (go DAN!) and there was an interesting article on regulator failures. One of the tables grabbed my attention, as it indicated that 19% of divers use Pony bottles or a redundant regulator, as opposed to 15% who use an integrated air/inflator.
The survey was done at scubaSTARnet.com.
Well, I'm learning how to do surveys for a non-profit I assist, so I thought I'd try my hand at gathering similar info. I'm making a distinction between pony bottle and redundant reg (which I guess is the classic cave doubles w/isolator valve).
I hope you'll take the survey, even though it's at SurveyMonkey. I'll let the survvey run for about a week and then report the results.
