Subject: Re: usefull pony bottles ( was which course& school)
I see a pony in the North East as an evolutionary step towards doubles.  But
when
I am travelling, the pony is part of my gear.  I have only twice had dive
environments that while travelling that required doubles.

I continue to be astonished at how many times while travelling I get asked what
the pony is for.

Last season I knew I was doing no travelling.  A club member was diving singles.
I thought that this was a bad thing, so I loaned him mine.  Now he has his own
pony, and is moving up to doubles.  Once you know the security of equipment
redundancy, you never want to go back.
