APD45- 45m Ratchet Dive Reel with High-vis Dyneema Floating Line

Compact pocket reel with unique fully enclosed "no snag" design

Unique benefits:

• Only 8 cm across, it sits comfortably in the palm of the hand and can be easily stowed in a pocket.
• The totally enclosed design prevents snagging and bird-nest tangling, a common problem with open reels.
• The Ratchet also offers line security in that it only winds one way preventing the line from spooling out again when you stop winding.
• Features a loud audible ratchet-click when winding-in – which aids the diver in judging ascent speed and lets other divers know you are returning or ascending.
• Built with glass reinforced polymer – it is rugged and extremely light.
• 45m of high-visibility Dyneema line – twice as strong as Kevlar and stronger than steel.
• Simple on/off thumb-lock switch to change between ratchet and free-running modes when deploying the line*.

For use as both a Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) Reel and a Navigation Reel:

• The line is positively buoyant which means it will rise above the seabed or wreckage when played out, helping to avoid entanglement and delay on the return journey.
• The velcro webbing loop is adjustable to fit your hand size.
• Left or right handed operation.
• The thumb-lock switch features a lock-off / tap-to-release design so that you do not have to keep your thumb on it in free-running mode when using it as a navigational reel. For safety, we recommend you keep the lever held down with your thumb when using the reel to deploy an SMB.
