[[but just as a minor correction, i never said
that "a pony isn't needed for rec diving". i
think you meant to infer that a COURSE in pony
bottle use is not needed.]]
however, to address your issue more specifically,
i think that by training beginner divers how to
use an octopus, that should be sufficient training
to then be applied to pony bottles. after that,
it's just the experience of other divers that
can help us in issues such as mounting, size,
etc.
...then again, i'm sure someone will come up w/a
good way to market a pony bottle use course.
