Thanks for all the responses so far. I have had many excellent responses, however the Jersey reel seems to have stumped a few people. A Jersey reel is an approximately 3' stick, with guards and handles on either side, with 200'+ of 1/4" sisal wound on. I just put a picture of one at http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf/jerseyreel.jpg. If you cannot ascend the anchor line (e.g. because you cannot find it), or if you are recovering an artifact, then you send a lift bag up with the line, and then tie off the line on the bottom. Sisal is used because it will biodegrade within the year. The normal rigging position is between the tanks or on the right hand side of the right hand tank, with surgical tubing. This allows the reel to be deployed easily, but does not allow it to be reattached if it gets knocked loose. Some divers have gone to using thicker nylon line on a regular reel, and "paying for it" by clearing up any old lines they see snagged to a wreck. -- Wrolf Wrolf's Wreck: http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf Wrolf's Net.Wreck: http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf/netmgmt.shtml -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
