Collection: Aluminium Tanks & Valves

A pony bottle is a small, independent air supply carried alongside your main tank as a backup. It's a common choice for solo divers, deeper dives and anyone who wants redundant air that doesn't depend on a buddy. We carry Zeagle pony bottle systems, including a 6 cubic foot tank and quick-disconnect pony setups.

You'll also find tank valves here, like the Genesis DIN/K convertible valve, which works with both DIN and yoke regulators. A convertible valve is handy if you own a DIN regulator but sometimes dive with yoke gear, or the other way around.

A pony bottle needs its own regulator and a secure mounting bracket, and our Montclair, CA staff can help you size and rig one. See tank accessories for bands and adapters, and regulators for a pony regulator.

    Scuba Tank Valve Buying Guide

    1. Choose between yoke and DIN valves. Yoke valves are widely used and compatible with most recreational regulators, while DIN valves provide a more secure connection for higher-pressure systems.
    2. Check working pressure compatibility. Ensure the valve matches the pressure rating of your tank and intended use.
    3. Consider convertible valves. Some valves can switch between DIN and yoke configurations for added flexibility.
    4. Verify threading and fit. Make sure the valve is compatible with your tank type and meets safety standards.

    A tank valve controls the flow of air from the scuba tank and connects the tank to the regulator system.

    Yoke valves are suitable for most recreational divers, while DIN valves are preferred for higher-pressure tanks and more advanced diving setups.

    Convertible valves allow you to switch between DIN and yoke configurations, offering flexibility for different diving situations.

    Yes, tank valves can be replaced or upgraded, but it should be done by a qualified technician to ensure safety.

    Regular inspection, proper rinsing after dives, and periodic servicing help maintain performance and safety.
