Already do! :smug look:

Aproblem with the reel or the user's fault?

3) think through and plan ahead for what if scenarios where it's not just 1 thing that starts to go wrong. The incident pit started quickly on this one and could've been worse had the depth been limited, or we'd become separated or been near the end of our dive.
It is recommended (well, by me) that you clip your reel to your buddies reel when he sends up his blob. If his reel jams then .........
