I do not dive a pony but would rig and dive it in the same way as I dive
deco bottles. With a deco bottle, I analyse and pressure check before a
dive (on the boat) to double check the previous fill-time analysis and
pressure readings. At this point I connect the regs, pressurise and
switch off. During the dive, the regs are off but occasionally (once,
perhaps twice) re-pressurised to ensure they have not purged. They are
returned to their off setting until needed. SPGs are not required.

David-
Seems to be this would be a bad time to find out if your pony works or
not. As you use no gauge, you keep your pony turned off during the dive?
