Para una buena conservación del Carrete Dive Rite Sidewinder Explorer es importante, al igual que en la mayoría de productos de equipamiento de deportes marinos, lavarlo con agua dulce después de su uso, para eliminar la sal.

La diferencia entre los carretes y los spools es importante. Los primeros se utilizan como sistema de seguridad para el guiado en lugares como cuevas, por ejemplo. Los Spools se utilizan para atar las boyas que sirven para iniciar la salida. Ambas técnicas deben ser realizadas correctamente y por buzos experimentados, ya que como toda práctica acarrea una serie de riesgos asociados.

Dive Rite Carrete Sidewinder Explorer:

North Florida cave diver, Woody Jasper, first invented the Explorer Reel around 1980.

As cave explorations were becoming longer, deeper, and more extensive a reel was needed that could help an explorer make some serious penetrations into a virgin cave system. Less likely to entangle than other reels on the market, Woodys 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. Twenty years later, sidewinder-style reels were popularized in the technical diving community when DIR aficionados began using them for paying out line in deep caves at high speed on a DPV.

Our Sidewinder series of reels are designed to be anti-jam by using precision machine tolerances between the frame and the spool making it nearly impossible for the line to slip between the spool and the handle.
