The APD90 Ratchet Dive Reel is a compact and innovative tool designed for divers seeking a reliable and easy-to-use reel. Its unique fully enclosed "no snag" design ensures hassle-free operation and storage, making it a must-have for both recreational and professional divers.

Unique Benefits:

• Compact Size: Measuring only 9.5 cm across, the APD90 fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and can be easily stowed in a pocket.
• No Snag Design: The totally enclosed design prevents snagging and bird-nest tangling, a common problem with open reels.
• Line Security: The ratchet mechanism winds the line in one direction only, preventing it from spooling out when you stop winding.
• Audible Feedback: Features a loud audible ratchet-click when winding in, aiding in judging ascent speed and alerting other divers to your ascent or return.
• Rugged Construction: Built with glass-reinforced polymer, the reel is both rugged and extremely light.
• High-Visibility Line: Comes with 90 meters of high-visibility Dyneema line, which is twice as strong as Kevlar and stronger than steel.
• Easy Operation: Simple on/off thumb-lock switch allows for quick changes between ratchet and free-running modes when deploying the line.

Versatility for SMB and Navigation:

• Buoyant Line: The line is positively buoyant, ensuring it rises above the seabed or wreckage when played out, helping to avoid entanglement.
• Adjustable Loop: The velcro webbing loop is adjustable to fit any hand size.
• Ambidextrous Use: Designed for both left- and right-handed operation.
• Safety Features: The thumb-lock switch features a lock-off/tap-to-release design for ease of use in free-running mode. For safety, it is recommended to keep the lever held down with your thumb when deploying an SMB.

The APD90 Ratchet Dive Reel is perfect for use as both a Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) reel and a navigation reel, offering reliability, ease of use, and safety for all your diving adventures.
