They have three sets of slots in the back that are in the plate and the wing alowing setting up for singles and indipendent twins using just a couple of cam bands. They also have a reversed grouve in the back plate which helps keep a single cylinder streight on your back.

Buddy pocket reels are not suited to dives deeper than 30m and even then i wouldent like to be sending up a blob on a fully enclosed reel. Get one like my one but be warned they break easily if bashed. Cut the silly long handle down to about 25mm or it will snap off first chance it gets. Also get a normal friction 50m+ reel as back up and for laying line on low viz dives.

There is a 35W Greenforce Arrow on EBAY at the moment at £77.00 worth going to £125.00 IMHO. If not look out for a 50W Halogen Custom Divers which you can pick up for about £250 in VGC second hand.
