Ok Neal here it goes - I will try to explain: We would first tie-off the line at the entry to the wreck then as we made our way into the wreck we would wrap the reel around pieces of the wreck at every few feet or so - a diver who may be completely silted out (ie. 0 vis!) would be able to follow the line and at each tie-off point depending on whether the line was 'twirled' bottom up or top down, he could tell (by feel) if he was heading out of or further into the wreck. Of course it would be established before the dive which method would be used to indicate in/out. I don't know of any other way to explain it - I hope this helps.
