I use a pony bottle for local diving but so far I haven't taken it on a plane for travel diving. I use a pony tamer but that's out for travel because it has to be attached to the tanks. That would mean using the bag/cam belt system I used to use. When my wife is diving with me having a reliable buddy is a non-issue and I feel ok diving without a pony, but I've had some really negative experiences with "insta buddies" in the Caribbean and Florida so if I travel solo again I'd really prefer to have a pony in spite of the hassle. I'm curious what other divers do.
