Subject: Re: Pony Bottles
This is a very interesting post. Many divers are quick to dismiss the
idea of mounting the pony on the tank. But divers that use Ar mount it
the tank as well. But yet that's fine.

I personally mount the pony on the tank sometimes and rig it as a stage
other times. Depending on the dive.

Just a thought.
