Dan (or George) no one sells freediving floats up here. Can you describe what they are (size, shape, material, color) and explain how you rig your floats for scooter diving. Specifically... What type of line do you use? Where does it attach and how? (to scooter? divers harness?, with bolt snap?) Do you use a reel for your float line, or do you run a fixed length line? How much scope do you use? How is the float line deployed and retrieved?
