AP Diving Pocket Reel User manual

The Pocket Reel is a versatile,
multi-purpose dive reel which can
be used with surface marker buoys,
delayed SMBs, or as a distance line
from a fixed point such as the bottom
of a shot line, or deco-station. The
reel’s small size makes it highly
convenient to carry and use, while
its closed design reduces tangling.
The Pocket Reel is compact and
rugged, incorporating features such
as a corrosion resistant solid brass
spindle, as well as ‘O’ring and loop
ended floating line for easy
attachment. Another attachment
option is the AP85a brass trigger clip
(available separately).
IMPORTANT:
The line has been fitted to the spool
by machine and may be pulled tight.
To avoid snagging on its first use fully
unwind the line on dry land, then
rewind manually ready for its first
use. This will ensure that the line can
extend freely to its full length when
used on a dive, and give the
opportunity to accurately measure
the line prior to use.

When using the reel with
SMBs do not secure around
wrist whilst inflating.
Holding the strap in the palm
of the hand allows instant
release if required.

If you want to use the reel for deploying delayed SMB’s the springs can be
removed from the locking mechanism. This will prevent the Spool Stop
from popping out and locking the reel if your thumb slips.
