I think the discussion in progress is refering to a procedure of turning
on the pony at the surface, then turning it off to dive. This leaves
pressure in the hose to prevent water from getting into the hose through
the second stage, but the pressure in the hose is the pressure the first
stage would deliver at the surface, in one atmosphere.
