See thats the thing about the Kent Tooling reels, you dont just get a reel, you get:

1: A bottle opener, found this out whilst in egypt recently.

2: A hammer, its so damn robust that I bash things/people with it

3: A good instrument for leading other diver away form the wreck! see they usually follow my line. he heh he

4: And of course you can blog off with it...


Just my experience with mine...

In many cases a fool and his money are soon parted but I believe th advice I got from you guys and John has led me to a very wise choice. I'll let you know once received and duly tested.

Helen, the afore mentioned Farnes dive we were at 35m - the 50m line on my reel didn't allow the dsmb to surface until we started ascending!!!! and we were 1/2 mile away then!!!!!!
I went for a 75m line because of that - not much difference in cost!
worth thinking about????

all you need to now is learn how to do it with opposite hands - will be interested to find out if this upsets your computer as was discussed on the previous thread??

cheers Steven x

I used to dive with my pooter on my right wrist, but hanging onto the reel with my left hand I realised it was better to have it on my left wrist for ease of referring to it on stops. I can now put it back on my right wrist where I am most comfortable with it.
