I am available for marriage and or buddy counseling... Remember DIR are from Mars and UTD are from Venus... (or is it the other way around?)

I have some freebee money on DRIS.com and thought I might get a primary reel as I don't have one yet.
I might be 6mo to a year away from cave training but would like to get one that I can use when I do.
Ive been looking at the light monkey explorer reel. Do instructors require more than 400' say the 800' version? Sorry to hijack the thread.
Thanks

I have never seen a training requirement for more than 400' of line on a primary.

Generally, you'll want a primary reel with about 400' of line and you'll want at least one safety spool with 150' of line.

250' is generally enough for most caves. The explorer reel definitely has way too much line to use as a primary.

I forgot. What do we need to run a reel for again?
