Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.
1046Fay, a spool is even easier to stow with the dsmb as you don't have to bother with the bungee loop used to tie them together. What kind of attachment point does your dsmb have (fabric loop, bolt snap, other)? Once I know what you have, I'll knock up a new video just for you.
Great video..I'm changing my DSMB soon from a fairly large reel to a smaller spool, purely to make it easier to carry and deploy….I'm unsure how to put it together…any idea's please?
whats the purpose of the bolt snap on the end of the dsmb? is it only to tie the reel line and bungee to? if so, bit of an over kill….. best way i've seen is to put bolt snap on endo fo the reel line, clip that onto the black dsmb cord…. drill a smal hole on the end of the reel handle opposite end to fixed reel bolt snap, tie loop of bungee one end through smal hole you've drilled, one end through reel bolt snap, fold up dsmb and loop bungee over dsmb and under reel – less parts!
crazycons, i also typically use a spool instead of a reel as i like the way that there is nothing to jam or break. One of the few times i find a reel more usefull is when i have to drag a DSMB behind me for the while dive and the depth might change frequently. For regular dives when i release the DSMB at the end and ascend then i use a spool.
Hey dude… ………. YOU ARE A GENIUS!
Just what I was looking for thank you for taking the time to share
What's the little loop on the reel line for?
Pretty clever!
What size bungee cord?
What brand of dsmb and reel is that? That setup looks great.
Thank you.
Reminds of the credits in Napoleon Dynamite
How do you stow the dsmb if used with a spool?
where do u get a bungee loop?
Super, vidéo simple et claire. Merci 🙂
Nice job. What size bungee cord? Did you make look yourself?
Nice vidéo.!
Thank you so much for making this video

How is there any less parts? Your way still has a reel, a DSMB, a loop of bungee and a boltsnap. Parts appear to be exactly the same.

Easy,, that's just to keep you awake at night wondering what the answer is.
The tiny one at the end? that's just something to grab onto to help you untie it again.
Just wondering – what's the little loop on the reel line for?
Great job!!!

I'd prefer a spool instead since the break of the real may cause you to lift yourself as you can se in many videos here on youtube
Very "Art Attack"
