After having read some of the threads in this group, I hesitate to post here, but I'm curious if anybody has had any experience travelling with a pony rig. I'm doing mostly shallow diving (less than 100 ft.) and am usually shooting video. My wife who is my dive buddy usually has to put up with me getting focused on a ribbon eel or harlequin shrimp and not paying attention to her. As such I want to get redundant air supply for both of us. The problem is we live in Texas and have to fly to wherever we go. In addition, we travel with 2 full sets of gear, video housing, sometimes rebreather, and soon a still housing as well, so we require 2 pack mules to get us away from the airport. I've already got a couple of extra regs, so I only need the bottles and was thinking about getting 2 30 cu. ft. tanks with the steel tank connnectors. Any advice on travelling with this rig or better ideas?
BTW, I know one option is to take less crap, but when you only get to go diving a couple times a year, its really hard to not get the most out of it.
Thanks
