Subject: Re: Why? - Pony Gauges
Here is my $0.02 worth. I use a pressure gauge on a small hose and
bungee it to my regulator hose. All I have to do is look over my
shoulder to see the gauge. I like having a gauge on my pony because
taking the 1st stage off to check pressure is a pain (and what if
you forget to check it before you get in the water?) If you think
you have 2500 PSI in the tank, and you really have 750 PSI in it
you could have a bad day. I use a 30cf pony, and that is more than
enough for a bail-out bottle for the kind of diving that I do,
but it is sure nice to know (at depth) that I have enough air in
my pony to bail out with if I ever need it.
