Streamline your surface marker buoy deployments and cave navigation with the IST 30m Finger Reel RL-3/N.Engineered for technical and recreational scuba divers, this compact spool provides 30 meters (100 feet) of high-tensile braided line to support safety stops, navigation, and emergency ascent signaling.
High-Tensile Braided Line and Built-In Safety Stop Feature The IST RL-3/N utilizes a specially braided line capable of holding up to 80kg (176 lbs) of dry weight. Divers can confidently launch SMBs or anchor temporary navigation lines without risking line snaps or premature line degradation. IST incorporates a smart safety feature directly into the spool:the final 5 meters (15 feet) of line transitions into a bright orange color. This high-visibility color shift serves as an instant visual reminder underwater, notifying you when you reach your 5-meter safety stop depth during ascent.
Constructed from heavy-duty injection-molded plastic, the spool body resists impacts, drops, and saltwater exposure.Smooth flared side-flanges allow effortless line feeding and rapid manual rewinding even while wearing thick dive gloves.IST includes a marine-grade brass double-ended bolt snap clip with every reel, enabling instant attachment to BCD D-rings, thigh pockets, or SMB webbing loops. Weighing just 156 grams (5.5 oz) on land, this ultra-lightweight finger spool fits seamlessly into any diver’s accessory kit without adding unwanted bulk or positive buoyancy drag.
