Located in: Essential Equipment, Tanks
A pony bottle is a smaller tank, which is carried in addition to the main tank. It possesses its own regulator with first and second stage and sometimes a separate pressure gauge. It will is mounted either at ones side or in front of the body or fixed to the main tank. A pony bottle scuba tank is the only true redundant breathing mechanism you can completely rely on.

Depending on the type of diving you plan on doing will determine what capacity the redundant air supply needs to be. Leisure Pro offers five different size bottles to meet every divers requirements. If used for sport diving there are three choices 6, 13 and 19 cu ft cylinders. If deep or deep technical diving or wreck penetration or cave diving there are the 30 and 40 cu ft cylinders available.

With Pro Valve, the Pro Valve is one of the highest flow cylinder valves available today and is also a convertible valve. Whether you dive Yoke or DIN regulators this valve will work for both. Valve has easily removed 200 bar DIN insert to convert the valve for use with DIN regulators. Valve has a heavy duty deign with a smooth operating mechanism and multi-ported burst disc plug for added safety.

Aluminum cylinders unlike steel cylinders don't rust, they oxidize. The oxidization of aluminum forms a protective coat that hinders the continuation ofcorrosion making aluminum cylinders less likely to be condemned due to excessivecorrosion. When shipped the tanks valves will be removed and the tank will require re-inspection before being filled. All Catalina cylinders are nitrox Ready!

Comments about Catalina Catalina Pony Bottle Tanks, Yellow with Pro Valve:

I recently purchased the 19cf catalina bottle as a redundant air source. The bottle works great and I was able to find an easy method (cheap) to mount the bottle on my AL80 tank. It provides enough gas for me to safely ascend with my 3 minute stop from 60 feet.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Catalina Catalina Pony Bottle Tanks, Yellow with Pro Valve:

Gives me 10 more minutes in case of emergency at 40 feet. Great backup. Cheaper than "SpareAir" if you already have a regulator, but bulkier on yourserlf and especially when travelling. But 10 minutes is a real backup: less than 13 cubic feet is less worth having a backup... When you don't know what kind of equipment you'll get when travelling, this is a good thing to have in your travel bag. In south they won't ask for the visual test so you can empty it and remove the valve for plane travelling and customs.

Comments about Catalina Catalina Pony Bottle Tanks, Yellow with Pro Valve:

The 6 cuft pony bottle is perfect for dry suit inflation using argon. We use them on every dive we make in the Pacific Northwest. Brand name products and Leisure Pro make buying easy, especially when you consider that the nearest dive store is 100 miles from our home!

Comments about Catalina Catalina Pony Bottle Tanks, Yellow with Pro Valve:

I use the Aqua Genesis as a pony bottle. I chose the 30 cubic ft size because carries enough air to get me to the surface in any of the situations I am likely to encounter. Also it is big enough to be used as a stage bottle.
