Take up the slack before heading off. I genuinely don’t understand what conditions you are talking about where you would need a strobe and not need a wreck reel. If you’re following a fixed guide line why not clip the strobe to that. If it’s no big deal that you don’t make it back to the strobe then fair enough you could play around with ways to deploy it.
I cannot think of a single wreck below the level of the sea bed where I would have to float my strobe in the water column to see it. It only makes sense to use a strobe In darkness or poor vis and both require a reel. You don’t need to see the strobe to see the flash. Maybe your using the wrong strobe.Imagine any situation where using a strobe makes sense.
Now, imagine that the only place to clip the strobe leaves it laying on the bottom.
Now imagine how far away you can be and see the strobe laying on the bottom. Maybe even imagine that the bottom has a little relief to it.
Now imagine how far away you can be and see the same strobe if it was floating 15' up off the bottom.
