I thought the standard colours were orange for standard deployment, and Yellow if your in the sh*t!

Myself I use a spool and not a reel, if the sh*t hits the fan you just let it go.

I think most problems occur when people deploy their SMB with the Reel still attached to themselves :lol: (read the article in last months Diver magazine)

I've heard that said a few times, but that is what most tech organisations state.

:shock:

I didn't know this was a forum for divers sexual problems? But I'm so glad you shared that, as mine is the same and I don't feel so isolated now. :?
