I'm thinking of getting Kent Tooling Wreck Reel: 
I will use the real mainly for the SMB deployment, but also as a jump reel and for marking short routes in caves and wrecks.
Initially I was thinking of getting 50m which should be OK for most of the caves and wrecks I have in mind in the near future. It should also be enough for the SMB down to 30m (+50% current = ~45-50m).
But I also intend to do some deep trimix training and wreck diving up to 100m and I hear that I might want to send the SMB from this depth, so I would need about 150m of the line.
Do you think it is too much?
Does the colour of the line matter? I opt for hi-viz.
Lastly, what do you think of Kent Tooling? |
What they think of KT is not relevent. Whilst there is technicaly no reasion why thats not suitable for DIR its not going to be looked favorably upon.
I dont know if this is a wind up (pun intended) or not but if you want to go the DIR rout just stick to the program and get a Pathfinder or Pathfinder copy.

EDIT: Actualy there is a metal to metal fixed contact between the bolt snap and the reel which is non complient.
