Staging a 19cuft pony

dantfarley · Apr 1, 2012

I have a 19cuft pony that I plan to sling when I dive this season just need some advice as to how/what I need to keep my second stage close to the bottle - ie- a strap, piece of rubber.

Thanks

you pretty much said it in your post. This is a brand name product here:Stage/Deco Straps and Hose Retainers by Dive Rite - Dive Gear Express

others use inner-tube...

DIY it's cheaper.

I use Bungees to hold the 2nd stage in place, in this picture it has slipped down but I insure it is at the top of the pony while I dive

I have two bungees around mine. One keeps the second stage at the top, the other keeps the hose out of the way.

I do that with mine as well, looks like they both got bunched in the middle for some reason. Because of that I later tied them off to the strap to keep them in place, it's an older picture 'cause I try to use my gear rather than take pictures of it.

Mine have done that at times.

Nice idea. I'll have to look into it after hydro coming up soon.

I like using a peice of bungee as well.

I'm new to ponies but I'm going to use bungee for the hose and a silicone octo keeper on the neck. I figure that will tame the second stage.

Go to a tyre (sorry, tire) dealer and get an old truck inner tube. Cut into pieces about 25 mm (1 inch) wide and use this. Works a treat, is free and you can afford to use for many things.

If you go that route, attach pull tabs to it so you van use it easier. Cut and glue a folded tab of inner tube material on it....
