In the process of slimming down my gear for travelling

In the process of slimming down my gear for travelling. This product is ideal, lightweight and compact. I have been purchasing products from Simply for some while now and I found that the delivery service is brilliant.

Not used on a dive

Not used on a dive, but played with it. Nice and small, a bit plasticy and I'm thinking i could snap the handle. As a backup or buddy reel, this could be ideal though.

This reel is small enough to fit in my BCD pocket. Have not had a chance to try it in open water yet but seems easy enough to use.

The reel is light

The reel is light, compact and works well. You need to take care when closing the rewind lever as the plastic is prone to bending. Orientate the lever properly and it goes back in neatly get it 180 degrees wrong and I think it is likely to break. Good kit and very prompt delivery from Simply Scuba.
