I am building my own dive spools. I purhcased a foot long piece of Delrin and will probably produce 6 of them. How many spools should I have? I plan on using one for emergency, and the rest I don't know. What else can one do with a spool? Please respond. Thanks,
 
If you are open water diving, one and it should be 130 feet long. That way when you are at max dept for OW, you can shoot a lift bag and do an ascent. But if your are cave diving, proably 2. One primary (400 feet Plus) and one reel for jumps, searchs, etc - about 75feet. And I have heard, but I don't know, if you are a DIR type, then I think they want you to have two of everything.

Send a picture when your done. Diablo has the ideas, maybe we can get you to build our ideas.

good luck
