Scuba Reels, Finger Spools & Guideline Devices
SMB Spools, Ratchet Reels & Tech Navigation Lines | Vancouver, BC
While guidelines are critical safety requirements for technical wreck and cave penetration, spools and reels are equally vital in open water for deploying surface marker buoys (SMBs) and navigation. At International Diving Centre, we stock precision-machined reels and spools from Halcyon, Apeks, Scubapro, and XS Scuba.
