Don't let the extra weight of a pony change your mind to not carry one since the weight came of off the weight-belt
Not mine. It's not heavy in the water, but I don't change my weighting. My 19 cf tank is 1.4# buoyant empty, offset by the weight of the reg, and I don't want a weight problem if I use it, so I use the same lead.Originally Posted by willembad View Post

One site gives 9.3# for the tank. I think my full pony and reg with two hoses and an spg weigh about 15# on the scales.AL19 = 8.2 lbs weight, -1.4 lbs bouyancy full, 0.1 lbs empty
That's 8.3 lbs extra weight out of the water.
glad to be apart
