First Set Of Dive Gear: Discuss Have I Done The Right Thing!?! in the Dive Kit and Equipment forums: It makes a superb backup though. Good point but I prefer to use Kent Spooling for its compact nature....

I gave up using a spool, couldn't get on with them. The nice thing about the little CD reel is that it doesn't take up any more space in the drysuit pocket than a spool did.
Still prefer a nice big reel as a primary though

I totally agree, a big reel maybe cumbersome but it makes life a hell of a lot easier on the way back! Oh and dont forget when carrying a CD mini reel the space that the tweezers take up in order to reel back in with

No you haven't, All CD stuff is well made and will last a lifetime. The only reason the thread has diverged onto a slighly different topic is the pocket reel and its benefits as a backup, if necessary, some people prefer spools just the same way that some people prefer blondes.

All the kit you chose sounds good to me.

Agreed. The CD pocket reel is fine. Once/if you start doing deeper dives you may want a bigger one (more line + more comfortable to rewind) but even then the CD reel will make a great backup.

Now stop worrying about it and take it diving
