Halcyon Defender Pro Spools are made from nearly indestructible Delrin and are available 100', 150, and 200' sizes (30m, 45m, and 60m). Halcyon reels and spools have established the industry standard for quality construction and trouble-free use. Historically, guidelines were associated with navigation during cave dives. However, they are equally useful in a range of diving environments.

01.01.2022 The Contour Sidemount System was the result of months of collaboration with some of the world’s top sidemount divers. It comes from the factory as a turnkey sidemount system.

The Contour Sidemount System also allows for a side-slung configuration for open-water divers.
