Hello all, I am interested in getting a pony bottle and since I am relatively new and dont know much about tech diving, I wanted a few opinions. I have read ALL posts on pony bottles vs spare air and narrowed it down to the two in the title (specifically Luxfer) and have read that the 40cf would be the better buy for tech diving. The following specs are from Luxfer:
AL-13 13.2 CF 3000 PSI -1.7 LBS -0.9 LBS 6.0 LBS 4.40" 13.1"
AL-19 19.9 CF 3000 PSI -1.4 LBS -0.1 LBS 8.2 LBS 4.40" 18.6"
AL-30 30.0 CF 3000 PSI -1.0 LBS +0.8 LBS 11.6 LBS 4.90" 21.9"
AL-40 40.0 CF 3000 PSI -0.7 LBS +1.8 LBS 15.3 LBS 5.25" 24.6"
I would prefer the smaller bottle (30cf), but have not read any comments on wheter or not it would be acceptable for tech diving.
I have only read that the 40cf bottle would be a good pony bottle to use on recreational dives that can also be used when tech diving. Can someone please give me their opinions and let me know if a 30cf bottle would suffice for tech diving? Thanks all
