Cave and wreck penetration divers from all around the world use line arrows to mark the direction of the closest exit. You may also use two Dive Rite Directional Line Arrows next to each other pointing in apposite directions indicating an exit on each end with an equal distance from each other. The Dive Rite Directional Line Arrows could also be used pointed towards each other to indicate a jump however, this is most commonly marked by a line cookie instead.

Dry cavers were using directional markers long before there were any cave divers. The early cave divers in Florida saw the benefit of these markers. Lewis Holzendorf came up with the idea of folding a triangle of tape around the line to form an arrow. These tape arrows were called "Dorf" markers, in Lewis' honor. There were a couple of problems with tape arrows however, they slid along the line and were difficult to feel in a silt-out. Cave diving pioneer, Sheck Exley asked fellow diver, Forrest Wilson to lead a discussion group at a NSS workshop, to come up with an idea for a better arrow. Several ideas were tossed around and eventually, Forrest came up with the current design, and hand made several hundred. Forrest’s arrows were sold through the Branford Dive Center in North Florida. They soon became very popular and Steve Hudson of PMI cave rope company asked Forrest's permission to mass produce arrows for Dive Rite.

Dive Rite Directional Line Arrows Available Options:

Now that you got your line arrows you may need a few Dive Rite Non Directional Line Cookie Markers as well.

Dive Rite Line Cookie
Sometimes a directional marker (line arrow) is not the proper marker to leave -Dive Rite Line Cookie- Non-directional cookies mark a specific place on the line, but do not give directional information. The Dive Rite Line Cookies are preferred over line arrows for setting up traverses or circuits because they avoid the possibility of having directional markers on the line which could point away from the closest exit, which could be disastrous in an emergency. The Dive Rite Line Cookies can also offer reassurance during stressful moments. The Dive Rite Line Cookies are a must at jumps, especially jumps made from points at which no permanent marker has been installed. Placed on the outbound side of the jump, the Dive Rite Line Cookies confirm exit direction as divers return to the jump. Our Price: US$2.00
