The Cavern/Safety Reel came about as North Florida cave training agencies began establishing standards in cave training. The established standard for cavern divers was to limit penetration no farther than 130 linear feet from daylight. Experienced cave divers use the Cavern/Safety reel as a jump reel or as a backup for security. Wreck divers will use this reel for shooting lift bags. The Cavern/Safety Reel is available with 140-feet of #24 line (RE4100) with a medium stainless bolt snap. The reel positions the handle on top, which helps divers who use a handheld light to hold both the light and the reel in one hand, freeing the other hand to work the reel. The frame of the reel comes with a series of pre-drilled holes so divers can change positions from a top-mount handle to a side-mount handle or a left-hand operated reel. The spool is held in place with a stainless steel "C" clip so replacing the spool or cleaning up a jammed reel is simple.

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

Needed a new reel with high line capacity; was advised to go with a higher priced reel from a different manufacturer, but saw this one and for the price decided to try it out. THIRD time I was using it to deploy a safety sausage from 100 feet, the screw/bolt holding the reel to the frame backed out of it's hole and the whole rig came apart in my hands... guess you get what you pay for....

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

Well-made, light weight reel, absolutely neccessary for deploying safety markers on the surface, u/w navigation in limited/ no vis and cave/ wreck diving. Easy to use in 5mm gloves, drag knob should be relocated to other side for easier one-handed deployment. Practice in controlled environment before using with bouys!!!

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

Great product-does everything I need it too-I read other reviews on the auto tensioner & decided not to get that option. I have used the reel several times with the only issue being I knocked it loose once & had some cord trailing behind me-my fault for not checking it prior to dive. Dive buddy spotted it. No harm no foul.
Very good value.

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

Very Smooth Operation. It is perfect for venturing out around wrecks in lower vizibility, shooting up a lift bag or saftey sausage, and using it as a back up in cave/cavern applications.

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

This is a great reel! However I ordered the drag option and it caused the reel to bind both when releasing and reeling in. I double checked to ensure the thumbscrew was backed out all the way but the drag still caused the reel to bind. Don't buy this reel if you need the drag option. After removing the drag, it worked great!

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

I looked at many reels proir to deciding to purchase Dive Rite. For the money the item is well constructed and has worked very well. I have only used it to tow a surface marker, but look forward to using it for other purposes.

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

This is a poorly designed and manufactured product. The price was reasonable but the quality is lacking. This reel failed on its first use and created a potential entanglement situation at 60ft.

Comments about Dive Rite Dive-Rite 140 ft # 24 Line Safety Reel # 4100:

Nice reel for fun. I see alot of divers with reel overkill dealing with nesting, complicated mechanism, and extra weight. This reel works well for most dives and depths. If you need more carry an extra finger spool and snap on. Simple is better. Used on 3 dives with low vis and natural navigation on ledge was difficult.
