Xs scuba metal impact aluminum 30 cu ft pony bottle – redundant air supply cylinder

Description

The XS Scuba Metal Impact Aluminum 30 cu ft Pony Bottle is a durable, lightweight, and reliable solution for divers seeking a dependable redundant air source. Manufactured from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, this cylinder is built to withstand demanding dive environments while remaining corrosion-resistant and easy to handle.

With a 30 cubic foot capacity, this cylinder is ideal for use as a pony bottle, bailout cylinder, redundant air supply, or decompression/safety stop gas cylinder. Whether you're recreational diving, technical diving, or building a backup safety system, this tank provides peace of mind and added security underwater.

A pony bottle is an independent backup air system carried in addition to a diver’s primary cylinder. Equipped with its own regulator setup, it serves as a true redundant breathing system that can be relied upon in emergency situations.

Rated to a 3000 PSI (207 bar) service pressure, the tank provides approximately 29.1 cubic feet (4.2 liters) of gas capacity. It weighs 12.3 lbs. empty, is only negative 1.6 lbs. when full, and becomes slightly positive at lower pressures, helping maintain manageable buoyancy characteristics during use.

Unlike steel cylinders, aluminum cylinders do not rust. Instead, they form a protective oxide layer that helps resist long-term corrosion and extends service life.
