Every detail of the ergonomic Dive Rite Finger Spool has been designed with performance, comfort, and ease-of-use in mind.

Smooth and compact, the width and diameter of the spool have been optimized to fit perfectly in your hand. The inner corners have been rounded, allowing the spool to spin freely between the finger and thumb when deploying line. Lightly scalloped edges provide a secure grip and concave sides make it easy to wind the line without winding up your fingers. The 60’ spool length is ideal for making jumps or gaps in a cave or shooting an SMB.

The OG Primary Reel.

In cave diving, a primary reel is used to reach the main line from the entrance of the cave. The Classic Primary Reel by Dive Rite is a tool familiar to many old school cave explorers, being one of the first mass produced versions of the primary reel and one of Dive Rite’s original products in 1984.

Since its’ inception, wreck divers have also adopted the Classic Primary Reel as an ideal tool for wreck penetration and shooting marker bags. Over the years, the Classic Primary Reel has evolved but its’ basic shape and function have remained the same.

The original sidewinder-style reel as designed by legendary cave diver, Woody Jasper.

North Florida cave diver Woody Jasper first invented sidewinder-style reels around 1980. Less likely to entangle than other reels on the market, Woody’s original reel was made of aluminum and a PVC spool. The side-handle style of the reel lent itself to exploration because it could easily switch from hand to hand while laying out line.
