The subject of ponies and deep air has recently come up on Scuba-L as 
some of you may have noticed.  Some of the people have asked for 
clarification of the DIR view on this, and I've tried my best, but 
being the stroke I am I failed miserably.

So, if someone here would be so kind as to give me a concise and if 
possible reasonably polite rundown on the DIR position on Pony 
bottles and on deep air, I would appreciate it.  I already know that 
DIR is against the use of ponies, so you can leave that part out. 
Exact reasons why would be welcome.  As far as deep air goes, what 
constitutes "deep", and some references to actual fatalities brought 
on by deep air (and I'm not talking 400 feet here, but people who 
kicked the bucket doing what a rec. diver might do on a deep air 
dive).

I know this stuff is in the archives, but I'm hoping someone has 
something like a baker's dozen handy for these two topics.

Thanks.
