Questions & Answers

Shopper : backpack  ?darrick c : Hello, something like this would carry the 13cf and up size tanks. If you are looking for something to hold the smaller than 13cf, we do not have a pack for those sizes.
Shopper : Is a pony tank available WITHOUT the valve?darrick c : Hello, no we do not get tanks without a valve.
JOSHUA E : Are these brushed aluminum or painted yellow? The listing shows both.Mario C : Yellow
Shopper : If I wanted to enter a confined space at sea level for 30 min.  What size bottle would I need?Jeff A : I would use an 80cu. Do the formula for sac rate before you decide.
WES F : Will the 6cu get me to the surface from 100ft.?Kelly B : The answer depends on your accent rate and your rate of air consumption. Let’s assume that you have a constant assent rate of 60 ft/min, integrating the rate of consumption from 100 to 0 feet results in a total air consumption of 251.5152 times your surface equivalent breathing rate per second (4.191919 times your surface equivalent breathing rate per minute). When I’m relaxed and not working hard, my average rate is about .5 cubic feet/min. If I’m anxious or working hard, it can be 1 or more cubic feet/min. The result is you would consume (on average) between 2.2 and 4.2 cubic feet of air ascending from 100 ft. Your results may vary.DAN S : That depends on your SAC rate but in the event of an emergency do you think your breathing would be normal or potentially stressed which would cause you to use more air?. A 6 cu ft bottle may just barely get you to the surface from 100’ but with that said it definitely would not contain enough air for both that and a safety stop. If your diving to depths of 100’ then get the 13 cu ft bottle.ANDREW L : Also note that at 100 ft, you will need more air than I used from 80 ft.ANDREW L : Maybe -- IF you leave immediately with no delays or time to notify your buddy, go up quickly, bypass your safety stop, and nothing goes wrong. I went through this with my instructor and diving colleagues, all recommendations were 17 cu. ft. I tested mine from 80 - 85 ft. A relaxed departure (dive's over), normal ascent, 3 min. safety stop, took about 2/3 of a tank; that's about 10-11 cu. ft. Also, every dive, I turn on the tank, which pressurizes the pony regulator, and loses a little bit of air -- every dive. Unless you have a pony pressure gauge on a hose, you also do not know how much air you have left as you go up. Bottom line: Safest size "get me out" bottle for all depths of sport diving seems to be about 17 cu. ft. This is NOT a professional recommendation, it's from personal experience of another diver. The choice is yours.

Great bottle & valve @ a good price

I've purchased several of these (6cf, 13cf, and 19cf) over the years to use as pony bottles for different dive parameters. They are great bottles at a good price.

Economical 30cf Bottle for Bail Out Gas

Price was right. Convertible valve is nice since I bought a DIN reg to go with it. I sling it for bail out gas on deep dives. Once in the water, the 30cf is barely noticeable and has minimal effect on my buoyancy and trim (slightly negative when full). The 30 is great but I'd recommend the 40 instead since it's not much bigger and one can't have too much gas.

Good pony for back up

Great pony whether it be 19cf, 13cf, or 6cf. I use mine with the quick mount... love it. I do hope the butt wads at tsa are enjoying the 13cf they stole out of my checked luggage.

Perfect for my needs

I am a self reliant diver and started to do more deep dives. Picked this up as an extra safety measure. I have used it a couple of times just to make sure and it is perfect for my needs. I purchased the 30cu.

Great tank...

This 19cu pony is the cat's meow.. wear it sling across my chest and never is in the way but right there if needed.. And the 19cu is a really good size.. I use the first 1000 psi as a stage and then leave the last 2000 psi as a reserve... Great tank and a great price..

buy small

I bought based on dive shop recommendation and the smallest size would work better as a second safety air source. Too large and it adds too much weight if your going off the shore

good tank bad valve

The valve looks and feels cheap. I ordered two of these, one 30cf and one 13cf and both arrived with damaged/deformed valves.. However the tanks themselves are awesome and you cannot beat the price even with the garbage valve.

Nice tank with good finish

Nice finish. Came with Harrison convertable valve (HSV-C-48) for use with DIN or yoke, in satin chrome finish. 8 months old (from mfg date) when I received it. XS Scuba Pony Bag (19cf) fits just fine. No large graphic label like pictures show, just a 4" X 5" label towards the bottom with warnings and instructions. Label states it was Oxy cleaned but I'm guessing LDS may not accept and would charge you to clean for Nitrox (I use air in a pony). Did have to pay for Visual prior to filling since no inspection label was present, even though it was new.

Perfect Pony

By Dennis

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.

Explanation on the Back Pressure Relief Feature

Explanation on the Back Pressure Relief Feature

In course of using a scuba valve, there are times where excess air may have accumulated behind the face o-ring during normal use. When this air is not vented properly from the o-ring groove it can cause the o-ring to dislodge during regulator dismounting.

Sherwood valves feature an intentional stamping mark in the machined inner ring of the o-ring gland. This mark prevents the metal ring from sealing against the 1st Stage regulator and trapping pressurized gas in the o-ring groove. If this gas is not properly vented, it can force the o-ring to dislodge when the 1st stage is removed from the valve. The stamping mark creates a path to vent any trapped gas before the 1st stage is removed.

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.

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 (3000 psi) 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 of corrosion making aluminum cylinders less likely to be condemned due to excessive corrosion. When shipped the tanks valves will be removed and the tank will require re-inspection before being filled. The available cylinders have the following physical specifications:

6 cu. ft: 3.2" (8.13cm)
