Any reason not to sling a 13 cf pony???

If you are going to carry it, I think that is the best way to go.

If your looking to sling a small tank I would take a look at a 19 instead of 13. The 13 is just under 13" long a 19 is about 18.5". I think slinging a 19 would be a little easier from a gear setup sense. Not sure how singing a 13 would go when you rig it up. My deco bottles have the snap bolts about a foot apart.

With that said I have never slung a 13 or 19 myself. I usually sling a 40 or 80 depending on my needs.

The 19cf would be nicer, but if you got a 13 already then use it. I've never slung a 13 but it looks like it would fit nicely.

13 ft3 is too small, in a lot of cases, to be useful. But as has been said, better than nothing.

The biggest benefit of a 13 is it will fit in flight luggage a bit easier. I find the 13 to be enough for a safe ascent from any recreational depth. But the 19 will give you more cushion if you think you might get a bit excited by a LOA incident. The 19 slings exactly the same as a 13 and you will probably not even notice the little extra length. The 19 is a better choice if flying with it is not a consideration. 30s and 40s are overkill unless you are doing penetrations or having to get back to an up line, but they should carry just as easily in the water with a sling rig. I have slung a 63 in the same manner as a 13 but that is a poor man's double rather than a bailout bottle. In the water, they all are close to neutral and no problem to carry. The hike to the water is another story.

I made up a custom harness for my 19cf, and I am not to happy with the way it is sitting while underwater. It is kinda sitting horizontal so when swimming it is not to much of an issue, but I can feel it there, but while vertical it is kinda a pain in the rear. Does anyone have any photos of there set up while in the water, or with the harness attached to the BC / tank?

+1. I use a 19 attached to the primary tank. Do the math, and you'll find a 19 a useful size from, say, 100'.
