yakivet:Why would you respond to a posted question with a question? We're all better off when you stick to the topic at hand, especially when its as hotly debated topic as this one is. :42: Ken
OliveBone:I just wanted to know why he was thinking of diving with a pony bottle, to make sure he was only going to use it in an extreme unforseen incident, which he went on to explain.
Some divers want to use them on a regular basis to increase their bottom time after their "BIG" tank runs out.
Now to answer the question, I would recommend slinging the pony bottle under one of your arms the way tech divers do. Get the same type of rigging as they do with the dog clips and secure the reg and hose the same way they do. This being that I hope you have a BCD with D-rings on the shoulder and waist. I recommend this way as opposed attaching it to your back tank because now you can reach the valve and turn it on if you need to and is much easier and faster to take it with you.
SO... why did you not answer his question? We're all better off when you stick to the topic at hand, especially when its as hotly debated topic as this one is.
