The Dive Gear Express Hi-Viz Line is a braided polyester (aka Dacron) material that costs a bit more than generic nylon, but this abrasion resistant high tenacity line has slightly negative buoyancy, also resists twisting or kinking, and has minimal stretch. Our Hi-Viz line is stronger than #36 nylon line, yet is slightly thinner than #24 nylon line, so you can load extra on the reel.

Traditional braided white nylon line is difficult to see in open water, but our Hi-Viz Blaze Orange line stands out like neon, allowing easier line management with nearby divers. The durable orange of our Hi-Viz line also remains the vibrant blaze color over time, unlike the "wash-out" fading typical of ordinary nylon cave line. View the twenty second video above of two divers on their stop during a training dive to watch the Hi-Viz Blaze Orange line in action.

We are often asked 'What is the tested breaking strength?' Unfortunately, there are no standards for the test methodologies, so it's impossible to compare published ratings from different sources. Our supplier tested both our line and a widely used white nylon guideline found on reels, using the same method for each test. The results show both have several hundred pounds of breaking strength, although the our line is stronger. Frankly, both are more than strong enough for diving purposes.
