Probably not textbook DIR but realistic for UK conditions, I use a reel for main deployment and a 40M spool for backup and for bridging wrecks, line laying penetration etc.

In my experience, none of the skippers on the boats I have dived from have ever complained about shooting a bag from 21m. They also don't mind us shooting one bag per buddy team.

PS. Keep your excess cave line for tying on bolt-snaps.
