The CAVE CAM from Manta Industries Inc. can be added to either their Jr. or Sr. reels
The purpose of this feature is to disengage the Anti-Free Spool system (AFS). The Cave Cam is specifically designed to aid cave or wreck divers in long exploratory penetrations. To activate the Cave Cam, the diver turns a specially designed "cam" 180 degrees, this in turn raises the AFS system off of the spool eliminating the need to squeeze it in order to deploy or retrieve line.
The "cam", like the spool, is machined from a single piece of UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) plastic, mounted with stainless steel hardware
This can be added when you purchase a Manta Jr. or Sr. reel or later on when you wish to add it!

The most innovative feature of the CR-1 is it's "Goodman" style ambidextrous handle
The shape and size of the handle enables the diver to obtain a firm, secure grasp without compromising comfort and control
Grip configurations can vary from full hand to three fingers, gloved or bare hands this reel can handle it
The location of the handle enables the diver to control line deployment and retrieval by placing fingers, palm or the heel of the hand on the spool.
The CR-1 reel is an aluminum uni-body frame that is the first in the industry to be cast, After machining it is anodized to reduce oxidation.
Machining tolerances are computer controlled to provide tolerances on spool and frame, which are close enough to prevent line jump and reduce jams.
Thumb screw is large enough to be manipulated with gloves yet positioned to be unobtrusive. It is threaded into a stainless steel insert to reduce wear and minimize galvanic action.
Spool is machined out of one piece of UHMW. This plastic has one of the highest resistances to the elements, and is supplied w/400 ft of #24 nylon braided line
Stainless steel shoulder bolt with specially treated threads to prevent it from unscrewing.
