    Scroll to (almost) the bottom of this page. There are 3000ft spools here of hi-vis orange and yellow.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    I wonder how it would compare to the Dive Gear Express exclusive Hi-Viz Line. I have used it before and this was some strong stuff. It's still braided but from Dacron.

    No joke, PMI makes it for SWAT teams to use in stealth operations.

    I haven't seen DGE's line, but the new stuff is Dacron too.

    I guess its for the SWAT Cave team... They use it for "conceal jumps". Similar to a blind jump but black instead of transparent. They don't teach that in non-SWAT full cave...

    You think the DIR boy would be all over that black line...
