KT Reel lost off the Kyarra

[dave archer]

I'll explain how elsewhere but yesterday I lost my Kent Tooling ratchet reel off the Kyarra

As it was dropped about 130m off the Kyarra bow (towards Swanage) I'm not overly hopefully it'll be found, but if you spot some bright pink line (or bright green line*) on or around the Kyarra shot area / bow and decide to follow it for some way, you might just come across it.

It has DAVE written on it in black marker, and is "left handed" (i.e. hold and operate release with right hand).

* it also has a 30m spool of bright green line tied to it and paid out.

If by some miracle it does get returned to me I'll pay for the diver's dive and a couple of beers

Cheers,
Dave "living in hope" Archer.

people must really hate their KT reels to be throwing them away all the time

I am a search and recovery instructor.

Anyone want to do a course in the vicinity of the Kyarra?

You wicked, wicked man !!

At least our lovely new KT rebreather handles aren't likely to want to go for a swim on their own !!

I reckon we should all stick our KT reels on the mantlepiece next to Aunt Agnes ashes and buy those shit plastic ones for proper dive use. There ya go - no more lost Kent Tooling reels

Even better, those delrin spools which are almost neutrally buoyant

[dave archer]

Yeah yeah smart arses

This was not down to the reel in anyway, it was bad luck compounded by user error.

John, you're an evil sod and your phone will be ringing when my wallet stops shaking and succumbs to the reality of the situation

Indeedy keep one for backup - the KT reel doubles up as a club for twatting DIR divers - try doing that with a spool !!
