Since I have been listening in to the techdiver list and researching some of the
available information on the "dangerous" sport of technical diving, the thing
that impresses me the most is the overriding concern for safety measures that
seem to be high on every competent technical divers list of do's.  I'm fairly 
new to diving (a little of 90 dives) and I would like just a flow of opinions 
as to my next planned equipment purchase.  I would really like to own and
have available a source of 100% O2 at the dive site with me but like most
relative newcomers to the sport I have limited funding.  Would purchasing a
13 cu.ft. pony bottle with a decent regulator, having both oxygen cleaned and
filled be more versatile and advantageous to me and those diving with me than
a DAN O2 setup?  I can see the time when just having a surface unit might not
fulfill my needs, yet the pony bottle / regulator setup wouldn't have a passive
face mask for diving accidents.  Any and all inputs will be appreciated.

Dive, dive, dive ooooooooo
