  Dave, that is not a pony, it is an argon bottle for suit inflation, using a
se 
of "pony tamer" straps. I do that so that I can remove it if I get "keyed", 
meaning if I can get in one way, but on return the bottle is on the other side 
and will not fit, a lesson never to be learned the hard way.

  We use no ponies, our little deco bottle for wreck diving are clipped on like 
stages - much safer than a pony harness. Like most things in diving, this
devive 
is useless for its intended purpose.  -G
