Hello Wet Ones,
Forgive my laziness... I've not searched the Board for possible answers to my question: My favorite dive boat now allows me to dive solo, to my great pleasure. Here in South Florida, the reef dives are almost always drifts. As a photographer, it's a pain for me to have to hold onto a dive flag line handle. Last weekend, the boat's DM let me use his clip-on reel and it was great! However, I've not been able to find that model of Oceanus.
Any recommendations for a reel with a strong "stop" or ratchet to keep it from unreeling, plus an anti-fouling mechanism, but not too expensive (I'll never use it for anything but mild drift dives, no deeper than 60 feet).
Thanks much,
Best Regards,
