Hi guys.
I thought I'd make a post that will hopefully help some beginners that struggle with tangling lines and float lines that are too long.
Here goes:
IF you're diving in water of 5m, use a 6m-10m float line.
If you're diving in 10 m water use 15m.
If you're diving in 15m water use 20m.
So basically use a line a third longer than your diving depth.
When it comes to shore diving, a tangled float line can be a nuisance and hazardous. To shorten it effectively use the following method:
Leave about 2-3m of line between your float or gun and the spot you want to make the loops. Loop it like the fisrt pic.
You should then make a double hitch knot to prevent the loops from unwinding again.
Your setup should eventually look like the last pic.
Hope this helps the folks who can only afford one float line or shore dive. Let me know what you think guys..
Hope to hear from you guys!! Regards
