I am sick of this pony bottle thing , George , everyone knows that we do 
not get along , but to recount my opinion on the pony with a fact,here goes.
I cannot stop divers from wearing it on their back , I cannot mistreat them 
on the boat if they wear it , if they get to know me they will hear my 
speech against it.
As a fact! I doubt that there is many as good as Gary Gentile is in wreck 
diving , having made that statement , he wears the pony.But on page 41 and 
42 in his Lusitania book two , he tells how he had put the pony in his 
mouth by mistake on a  Wilkes-Barre dive.
He had to be saved by Billy Deans who at first did not understand the 
problem.Had he been diving solo or had deco gas in it, it would have been 
over.As 99% of my dives are solo , I must remove all possible mistakes of 
human error.It will not be on my back.
