Comments about Pelican Pelican Float with 100' Line:

The product is well designed and sturdy. It is larger than i thought from the pictures but managable. its roughly 3" across and 7" tall little large but still able to fit into BC pockets and clip onto D-rings. boyancy is good doesnt effect overall boyancy while swimming.

Comments about Pelican Pelican Float with 100' Line:

The first time I used one of these, I dropped my compass overboard on a dive. The divemaster immediately tossed the reel overboard and it payed out to the bottom (40 feet or so). The divemaster then said, "There, go and get it." I followed the line to the bottom and found the compass on the second pass around the line.

The second time I used it, I lost my anchor and 100 feet of line overboard. I immediately tossed the reel in and it payed out to the bottom. I followed the line down and found the anchor within a minute.

I routinely use it to mark dive sites. I mark it with the reel and then anchor out of the kelp. I will not get underway without one. I own two of them.

Comments about Pelican Pelican Float with 100' Line:

This is a great little item that comes in handy to mark objects of intrest. The equal bouyancy it has when the little weight is attached is a plus, making in barely noticible when I clip it to a D ring or throw in into a BC pocket. I also use it to do circualar sweeps of the bottom starting from the anchor during periods of low vis salvage. Long story short it definitely found a place in my dive gear essentials.

Having a Pelican Marker with with is an essential element to any dive. It allows you to make a favorite spot or have a guide line for a controlled assent. I would recomend this product to anyone who wants to impove their diving experience. Also the pony bottle holder for the Zeagle LTD works perfectly as a place to store the float during a dive.
