Purchased as fellow divers recommended it and have used theirs a number of times. Easy to use. One gripe, why a brass instead of S/S snap? Other than that, it’s a good piece of kit.

Hands down the best reel I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot of reels. It is well worth the extra cost. I am a marine biologist who dives often and highly recommend this reel.

Great reel. The only down side is that the line guide does not touch the reel itself, allowing room for line to come of the reel from the side. Nothing like a little bending does not fix. Overall great product.

Used both in combination when doing penetration for wreck certification, and they were hassle free. There was no need to think about how to hold the light once I got them situated. The reel was easy to let out, and easy to reel back in. We added a clip to the end of the line to make tying off easier. We did take off about 50 ft of line to compensate for swelling when it got wet. And it fit quite well in my smaller hand.

I bought this reel to dive a wreck where the visability 10 feet. It was easy to let out the line and easy to reel it back in. I bought the "#2 Swivel Brass Boat Snap, Like Dive Rite #1002" to attach to the end of the line and it worked great.

Used for deploying safety sausage/safety stops and UW searches/wreck penetrations. Requires modification to address issue releasing line while hanging on stop due to lack of alternative handhold - spring release actuation occurs when hanging. Tried fitting with drawer pull handle and formed tubing on clip side. Settled on clipping into 2" seine ring at snap attachment.

Safety, Safety, Safety! I use this reel to deploy my safety Saugage from depth and just reel myself up to my safety stop. Watch the line when reeling in so it doesn't wind up all on one side.

I use this for Cavern Diving as a primary reel. I like it locking feature so it does not unwind. It is easy to use, very rugged, well worth the price.

THE BEST REEL !!! I have used/bought several reels and have liked none. A friend purchased this one and I had to get one shortly there after. Worth the money and Very Solid!

I use to launch a surface marker. It is simple to operate and has worked flawlessly for this purpose

Super product. Only problem was with the UPS shipment which ended up being controlled by french customs, then having to pay extra fees on top of purchased price.

My first dive reel so can't compare to any others however have seen dive buddies with reels that birds nested and tangled under water. This is a real reel.

This is one heavy duty reel. Well Made, easy to use, no backlash.... A little on the heavy side but well worth the extra weight. A lot of good features built into this unit.

Works good for lift bag deployment and overhead diving so you dont get turned around. It is nice and compact.
