Hey Folks,
The place that I will do lots of diving on a regular basis, is not deep at all, maybe 45 ft in some section, most diving will probably be around 30 - 40 ft, nothing serious.
I have 2 questions, really, one on pony bottle and one on a set of "vintage" diving gear that I got as a collateral in another deal.
Pony question:
Although lake is not deep, I think I would still carry a pony, just in case something goes wrong, but I figure I can get by with a pretty small one. Maybe even a "spare air' although I read they are junk.
Anyways, what are peoples thoughts? Is a 19cf overkill? Can I get by with a 13, maybe even even smaller? Or spare air?
Vintage gear question:
Here is the setup I am planning on (I got the stuff as a collateral on another deal, thus the 'vintage" designation)
Regular 80 tank from 1979
ONE second stage (vintage dacor, 30 yrd old), spg,
compass,
vyper diving computer
Vintage US divers aqualung BC (from late 70ties, looks a bit weird)
some kind of redundant air supply (see question above).
given the relatively shallow location, is the age of equipment too much of a risk (everything works)? Picture of the stuff is attached.
Any insights are welcome!
