Scuba Reels In Detail

[@jonathanseibert4423]

Hey James. How often would you empty the reel or a spool and check the line and then rewind it? Can you remove a damaged segment of line and tie back together or should you just replace the line? If you retie, what knot would work for this?

Hey James this is Butch, enjoyed meeting and talking with you. Looking forward to the future, talk soon!!!

Best ‘Dad jokes’ of the week. I don’t often tell dad jokes, but when I do, he laughs. Reeeellly…

[@DiveHard]

very important to always carry a spool/reel and, also, to be comfortable deploying it! thanks for all the great content!

[@DiversReady]

Always! Thanks for watching!

[@ivoryjohnson4662]

Taking Decompression I am learning to deploy DSMB from depth use it to control my ascent thank you for making this video

[@andrecandrade]

Still very vivid in my mind the day you told me "it's time to buy a big boy reel" 🙂

[@DiversReady]

Glad you got it!

[@Chogogo717]

That was reelly interesting!!! Sorry, I had to. So, I have had issues with the flat Dacron line twisting when used on my finger spools. Does it do the same thing on the reel, or how do you keep it all wound flat?

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

On a finger spool that happens because you wind the line around the spool, instead of the spool to wind in the line. On a reel, you wind the spool, so the line should theoretically go back onto the reel the way it came off. In practice there will be some twists in the line, but not as many as with a spool.

Thanks for sharing. Great info as always.

[@DiversReady]

Thanks for watching! Dive safe!

[@ScubaHockeyDoc]

Reely bad dad jokes in this one. Love it!

[@tylerdurden3426]

Hey James, thank you for the video. Maybe you can make a video with your experience on comparision of decompression diving in cold vs warm water . That would be interesting , because here in germany normally water is very cold and warmth has a great influence on decompression quality.

[@dive_with_matt]

Ah British Humour! Being from Bournemouth I can appreciate a good joke ( just like ya weather ) Thanks for the tips James, as always informative and precise!

[@DiversReady]

Happy to help!

[@alluraromel392]

Hey James, where’s the Manta Reel? This is my favorite & go to reel. So easy to use.

[@dchall8]

What size Dacron line do you use? And where do you get it?

[@jameshogan2807]

Do you mark any distances on your reels James? Great video BTW. Love the quick tips!

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

For a line laying reel, that's not of much use. You'd use line markers for that purpose. They have the added benefit of pointing you towards the exit. For a spool or reel for deploying a dSMB, it can be useful to mark your line at 5 or 6 meters for a safety stop.

[@paulready8897]

Reely corny jokes! Aside from the cheesiness another awesome video, esp for divers looking to get their first reel or to replace their current one, on what features to look for in a reel.

[@ramytk1]

Hey James. You should show a video on laying line. oh and how not too🤣🤫😅.

[@Teampegleg]

Those huge reels are hard to maneuver, a couple of the explorers I know prefer a couple of 400ft reels rather than carrying a single larger reel.

[@adampilot8275]

I reckon Jamesy couldn't make a bad clip even if he tried.

[@NativeEffect]

I wanna see a video on double enders please

[@sethalton205]

Great joke man… Totally going to use that against my 9 year old. I’m consuming everything I can about scuba and skills I can work on out of the water. Waiting to be able to pick up a job before I continue my batshit crazy be in the water once a week.

[@UNgineering]

upvoted for "reeely helpful" joke alone

[@flhrci1]

Who would have known reels could embarass or shame a diver? LOL

[@DiversReady]

Haha

[@chizuoka]

Why does no one talk about how to clean it out and dry it... Do you really let it all out and put it back together...

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

Just put it in the washing machine. What's the worst that could happen?
