Some divers
assume that all guideline devices such as spools and reels
are useful only to cave divers. Yet, technical divers
understand that guidelines belong on every dive, whether you
are exploring a cave, studying the remote recesses of a deep
wreck or just enjoying the beauty of any overhead
environment. Increasingly, open water divers are learning to
use guidelines to mark interesting locations, float a signal
marker during a drift dive, or secure alternative lift
devices during an emergency ascent.
Halcyon's
Defender® spools and Pathfinder® reels are made to the
most rigorous of standards, ensuring that operation is
trouble free in all applications. These devices are the
result of many thousands of hours of recreational,
technical, and cave diving and have consistently proven
their reliability and superior design in some of the most
extreme environments the underwater world has to offer.

Defender Spools
For any diving
application where you will use less than 150 feet of line,
the spool provides rapid, jam-free deployment and retrieval.
Defender spools are the DIR choice for deploying lift
devices in the ocean or for use as jump/gap or safety spools
while cave diving.

Pathfinder
Reels
The
Pathfinder® series of line reels satisfies the demanding
requirements of exploration and the day-to-day needs of all
divers with its performance-minded features. Pathfinder
reels utilize a completely ambidextrous design that allows
the user to easily reel in the guideline with either hand,
or to conveniently switch hands during deployment |
|
The spools used in the Pathfinder reel is now all black
(unlike some of those illustrated above...) and no longer
one-piece. The unique side handle is machined from a solid
piece of aluminum and fits closely to the spool, limiting
entanglement but allowing easy access to the other three
sides. The handle is hard-coated for durability. All
lockdown screws and winding handles are solidly affixed,
nearly eliminating the risk of breakage.
- Pathfinder-4
holds 400 feet of #24 nylon line
- Pathfinder-8
holds 800 feet of #24 nylon line
- Pathfinder-12
holds 1,200 feet of #24 nylon line
