Nice idea and one less item of equipment to carry.MaxBottomtime:It depends on how many other divers are on deco with you. Ten feet may not be enough in all situations. I retired my homemade jonlines for my spool instead. I simply loop the line around the upline, let out the length I need, clip the end of the line onto the spool and clip the other end of the double-ender to my right D-ring. As I ascend, I can slide the line up without loosening it from the upline.
