What is a dive reel used for?
Reels are essential tools for divers. They can be used to keep you in contact with surface support, guide you back to a known starting point, or to position you during search and retrieve operations. A common mistake is trying to use one type for all diving applications.
This can lead to complications and potentially to danger. There is no point using a reel containing hundreds of metres of line to deploy a delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB) from a depth of five metres. Equally, trying to use a finger spool to reel out through a wreck or cave penetration might lead to entanglement.
