Subject: pony bottle use
I have been following the pony bottle thread and am a little confused. 
 I use a pony bottle (please take it easy on me) for diving.  I haven't 
been able to upgrade to doubles yet (There seems to be a lack of 
teck instructors in Maine).  The times I use a pony are when I am 
diving alone or plan on spending time away from the others I am 
diving with.  I don't use it on any dive I would have to do deco on, I 
dive part time for scallops and urchins, most dives are to a max of 
40-50 feet.  If you don't know the industry it can get very competitive 
between different boats and divers.  This makes it hard to work 
closely to others.
	I feel this is the type of diving that the pony bottle was designed 
for.  I have luckily never had to use it to date but i still like to have it 
there (I also haven't had an accident with my car but still carry 
insurance on it).
	Any comments would be welcome, I am always looking to be a 
safer diver.
