[Choose #1] Just started using a pony. I prefer independent source for an "ohh sh#t" situation.

[Choose #1] Always use a "pony",just to be safe

[Choose #1] I have an Air 2 & Spare Air. Can never have too much life support options

[Choose #2] octo, no need for spare air or pony, just look at your SPG every now and then.

[Choose #1] If you run out of air, the octo/air 2 don’t help. Gauges but in a pinch Pony, Spare air for last

[Choose #3] Spare Air is NOT a Poney Tank

[Choose #2] depends on the type of dive I use spare air, pony or octo

[Choose #1] Understanding your SAC as it relates to your depth and a pony that is matched to the requirement

[Choose #1] octo, air2 aren’t really full backup solutions, just extra regs attached to same tank.

[Choose #1] depends on diver and situation though

MonkeyDiver - 1/04/2009 5:48 PM
[Choose #1] Octo & Air 2 are options to asist buddy. Others are to assist buddy/self depending on environment

[Choose #1] pony bottle all the way
#506
steelheadfish - 1/04/2009 3:15 PM
[Choose #1] pony only

scubadad - 1/04/2009 1:30 PM
[Choose #1] Pony bottle, every time. Spare Air doesn’t hold enough air for my comfort.

[Choose #1] Dive alone 30cft pony bottle

scubaTim50 - 1/04/2009 7:36 AM
[Choose #1] poney is what I have,, really don’t know what is best.. best to have something tho I think..
#11850
TColJeep - 1/03/2009 10:07 PM
[Choose #1] 30 cu. ft. Pony Bottle
#4586
Jen-Michael - 1/03/2009 5:45 PM
[Choose #1] Pony bottle it’s your safest bet it’s completely redundant. An Air 2 is basically an octo btw.
#3091
divemaiden - 1/03/2009 5:26 PM
[Choose #1] pony bottle safer, if something happens to main supply, octo & air2 won’t help, 2d bottle better

[Choose #1] I always have an "octo" on my rig, but I like to carry a pony bottle too...
