I'm thinking about getting a line cutter for those 'tangled in fishing line' type emergencies. It isn't a very likely scenario in this part of the world, but I'd rather have a cutter and never use it than have a problem and not be able to deal with it.
I don't carry a knife, and don't want to, because I often cart my gear around by public transport. Although my PADI manual insists that a dive knife is not a weapon, I don't think anyone else is going to see it that way. So, the choices are a line cutter or snips, and a cutter would be more convenient b/c I can keep it in a pocket. I'm taking about this kind of thing:
Fancy ScubaPro line cutter
Less fancy Cressi line cutter
Anyone has any experience with this kind of thing? Comments, opinions, advice, etc?
