 Light Monkey Primary Reels are equally at home surveying your favorite wreck or dumping line in virgin cave passage. All reels are machined from solid Delrin eliminating the traditional problems encountered from dissimilar metals or plastic lockdown screws in metal handles. Exact tolerances between handle and spool greatly reduce 'bird nesting' allowing you to enjoy your dive rather than having to focus on line laying. All reels are supplied with the stainless steel double ended bolt snap and #24 line (#36 available upon request).

Line Arrows | Dry cavers were using directional markers long before there were any cave divers. The early cave divers in Florida saw the benefit of these markers, and Lewis Holzendorf came up with the idea of folding a triangle of tape around the line to form an arrow. These tape arrows were called "Dorf" markers, in Lewis' honor. There were a couple of problems with tape arrows, however -- they slid along the line and were difficult to feel in a silt-out. Cave diving pioneer, Sheck Exley asked fellow diver, Forrest Wilson to lead a discussion group at a NSS workshop, to come up with an idea for a better arrow. Several ideas were tossed around and eventually, Forrest came up with the current design. | Dive Reel Accessories

Today, cave and wreck penetration divers from all around the world use line arrows to mark the direction of the closest exit. This modern version is made of Glow in the Dark plastic and measures approximately 2 1/2" long.
