        I look forward to the day that I, like you, can talk about open   
      circuit scuba in the past tense!!!

     I remember that. I think it was your O2  bottle, right?
     Did you mount the pony upside down for balance, or for valve access? 
     I tried mounting mine upside down, but the second stage whip angle was 
     all wrong. I couldn't hold it in my mouth when the bottle was upside 
     down.
     
     My rig is set up with an O2 E bottle upright between my doubles. The 
     first stage is attached to the O2 tank via a scuba block/medical O2 
     valve adapter. The 2nd stage whip comes off the first stage using a 
     "T" swivel, to point the LP whip in the right direction.  It is 
     comfortable, but there is no way for me to reach the O2 pony valve.
     
     Any suggestions?
