Hi -
I'm looking at buying a primary reel for an upcoming cave trip and am going for a Light Monkey 400. I tried the DiveRite slide lock reel during my Intro class but much prefer the simpler LM/Halcyon design.
The question I'm facing now is if I should get the hi-viz line on it or not. I don't need the extra length hi-viz gives on the same reel, 400' seems quite enough for the dives I intend on doing.
The main thing I wanted to get feedback on was this - DGX advertises the hi-viz line as being lower stretch than standard #24. Is this desirable for cave line? Low stretch seems counterintuitive to me as a little stretch would be better in that it allows you a little wiggle room to make tighter tie-offs. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance,
