	Do the sums; if you want the pony to be a managed bailout rather
than a rather exotic blow and go (Martin Baker style) then you add the
sums up. Unless you're a WKPP approved gas diver the chances are that
your air consumption will go up under any circumstances involving
switching to a pony, and since it's managed, I would intend to leave the
water with the ponies' 25% reserve intact. Works out a 4l @ 207 bar
doesn't get you too far. (4l ~ 30cuft? 2~13cuft which isn't worth spit,
the money or the hassle).

	Alex, this is techdiver not cavers, piss off. To a lot of
recreational divers, using a pony *is* tech, and this is the first stop
they come to. Stop being a dickhead.
