I re-rigged my 30 foot pony, according to the drawing that Sean Stevenson
did for Jeff Bentley.
Thanks, Sean.
Thanks, Jeff.
I appreciate both your efforts.
On the first dive, I discovered that the configuration is MUCH easier to
use, and I like it.
However, the snaps that I used are, apparently, WAY too small. I could
barely use them sitting on the beach, let alone with mask and gloves on,
under water.
So, my question is, what size are you guys using?
Other questions I have are:
1. Can you use the snaps under water?
2. Do you use gloves?
3. Can you use the snaps underwater, with one hand?
Seems to me that being able to hand off the tank (pony, in my case) to
another diver is critical, as well as is doing so with one hand.
To that end, I'd like to hear about different clips, and how/why each is
being used. I'm looking at stainless steel carribieners, but unless one
used the locking versions, seems like they could catch on something. The
locking versions solve that problem, but would be harder to use.
Particularly, I'm interested in cold water applications, that can be
manipulated with one hand, in gloves or three fingered mitts. I'm
primarily interested in open water applications, and the differences, if
any, between those suitable (and easier to use) for open water, and those
for use in an overhead envirement.
