With all the recent threads regarding pony bottles and looking into getting one myself, I am wondering about weighting while diving with a pony.
Do you adjust the weight on your belt so that you are neutral with the pony? Or...Do you leave the weight on your belt unchanged meaning you are slightly more negetive than usual?
Adjusting your weighting to be neutral with the pony would leave you slightly to buoyant in a situation where you hand off the pony to a OOA buddy. But diving overweighted can also be risky. I may have just answered my own question and this may be covered in my up coming wreck class, but I am still very interested in the opinions of the board.
