Dive Reels
A tether line reel is used not only for penetration but as an
emergency up line, for search and recovery, underwater mapping, or
in the case of limited visibility, it can serve as a guide to and
from the dive boat's anchor. Some divers choose to tie knots in the
line every ten feet. By counting the knots as the line is let out,
the diver can tell how far he is from the anchor or how deep into a
wreck he has ventured. Tether line reels can be home made, converted
from construction reels or store bought. Dive Rite Inc., a Florida
based cave diving equipment company, offers a complete line of
reels. These wreck reels are available with stainless steel
construction and contain all of the desired design features such as
sufficient line capacity, lock down screw, and contoured winding
knob. A reel should always have an adequate supply of line for the
depth of water you're diving in. For example, if you're diving in
100 feet of water, your reel should contain no less than 200 feet of
line. This is because of the presence of any current when and if the
reel is used as an up line. Tether line wreck reels normally use a
1/8 white braided nylon line. This line is rated at 1000 pounds.
Nylon is preferred because it is strong and somewhat abrasion
resistant, highly visible and sinks. If a floating line were used,
it would have the tendency to get tangled in the diver's feet as it
was unreeled, and it would not stay where it was laid out. Tether
line reels should never be clipped off and allowed to play out
unattended. The reel should be held with one finger firmly on the
spool so that the spool turns only when there is tension on the
line. When reeling in the line, reel just fast enough to maintain a
constant tension on the line. When winding in the line, make sure
the line feeds evenly across the spool face to prevent jamming.
Remember just having a reel is not a substitute for proper training
in wreck penetration.
