Visual Jumps

Non Sequitur.

Bear Grylls would just drink his own pee. Problem solved.

Because they jam, and don't fit in pockets, more expensive, more parts to break, etc.

+1.



I've come to hate jump/gap reels and only use spools for those, even if it's a long jump and a PITA to wind back up. I carry one spool on hip d-ring, or on stage strap if carrying extra tanks. I've never had a spool come loose, but if I'm concerned about that on a particular dive there are ways to address that issue.

:tongue2:

As you do not do visuals, how would you have approached that 5' jump?

 

[mstueven]

Nope. No visual jumps, even in familiar territory. That's what spools are for.

You handle the problem as I would.

As I'm not familiar with the dive, is it roughly the same circuit as the godzilla circuit?

Assuming that it is, I'd pre-jump it and wait for buddy to be on mainline and reel my line in. I'm sure some where there's fault there, no doubt it'll be picked apart.

I think some of you may find this interesting.

That's not how I attach bolt snaps to my spool... I put line through one of the holes and then attach bolt snap to the loop that sticks through the hole.

Yep like that. I've tried doing what is in those videos (on course it was discussed) and find it less likely to detach that way Haven't lost one yet.
