Some divers assume that all guideline devices such as
spools and reels are useful only to cave divers. Yet,
technical divers understand that guidelines belong on every
dive, whether you are exploring a cave, studying the remote
recesses of a deep wreck or just enjoying the beauty of any
overhead environment. Increasingly, open water divers are
learning to use guidelines to mark interesting locations,
float a signal marker during a drift dive, or secure
alternative lift devices during an emergency
ascent.
Halcyon's Defender spools and Pathfinder reels are made to
the most rigorous of standards, ensuring that operation is
trouble free in all applications. These devices are the
result of many thousands of hours of recreational,
technical, and cave diving and have consistently proven
their reliability and superior design in some of the most
extreme environments the underwater world has to
offer.

Pathfinder Reels
The Pathfinder® series of line reels satisfies
the demanding requirements of exploration
and the day-to-day needs of all divers with
its performance-minded features. Pathfinder
reels utilize a completely ambidextrous
design that allows the user to easily reel in
the guideline with either hand, or to
conveniently switch hands during
deployment.
The spool used in the Pathfinder reel is milled from
one solid billet. The unique side handle is machined
from a solid piece of aluminum and fits closely to the
spool, limiting entanglement but allowing easy access
to the other three sides. The handle is hard-coated for
durability. Pathfinder reels now utilize a larger
cold-water
lockdown screw for ease of use with
dry-gloves.
