Reading a couple of postings from George regarding wreck diving and have two questions....What the heck is a gavin spool, and what are gavin clips.... Is a gaving spool an alternative to a jersey reel?... Currently I have a primary loaded with about 200 feet of heavier than usual braided poly which sits nicely on the left side of my backplate and works well with a 100 pound lift bag, which is cinched to the bottom of the backplate. However, This set-up is used in the Great Lakes on dives to 150 - 160 max. in moderate seas. Come august we are off to the Empress and the currents there can be brutal....other options will be considered.... Gavin clips? I use a prussic knot to secure my Jon line or to put a nice tie-off loop on an ascent line for deco bottles.... and I have been known to tie in a carabiner with a prussik on long decos with little else to pass the time but am always open to new and exciting innovations!
