Hi
I need some advice on how to do the above.
Some background:
I mostly dive dry and my drysuit has pockets which I use to store my SMB + reel.
Occasionally I dive in my wetsuit. Locally the only good tec shorts costs $200. Too much for me to spend for very infrequent use. The only other ones I like from Dolphin Scuba seem to be permanently out of stock in my size.
So I tied 2 bungees to the 2 holes on the bottom of my BP, and secure my SMB there. I clip off the boltsnap attached to the reel to my butt D-ring.
Problem is, I've had the line unravel on 1-2 occasions, where the line slipped over the reel "walls" and came loose. The bolt snap was still in place.
Are there any techniques to prevent this from happening? Thanks!
