Dive Rite’s Slide Lock 2 features the tight tolerances and innovative features of the new Azimuth series of reels while maintaining the simple, one-handed operation of the dependable Slide Lock series of reels.
Like the Azimuth, the Slide Lock 2 is fabricated from high precision, CNC-machined acetal and stainless steel components. While borrowing from the Azimuth’s ergonomic and low-profile design, this reel retains the unique “thumb flick” locking and unlocking mechanism from the original Slide Lock series. The versatile 200-foot (60 m) size is ideal for many applications, including as a cave primary or cave safety, wreck diving, or shooting lift bags and markers. Comes with a stainless steel double bolt snap.
- Proudly made in the USA.
- Frame: Single-piece, machined acetal.
- Spool: Machined acetal with knurled center core and line lock holes.
- Hardware: Marine-grade, passivated 316 stainless steel.
- Thumb-activated, spring-loaded locking pin for one-handed locking and unlocking.
- “Fuel gauge” slot on spool shows line remaining.
- 200 ft (60 m) of braided, #24 line in white or hi-viz orange.

Features
- The dimensions of the reel have been thoughtfully chosen for comfort and ease of use, as well as being low profile when clipped off and stowed. A one-piece acetal handle provides a high strength, corrosion-free frame, and an ergonomic grip with or without gloves. The unique in-line clip slots on the handle orient the reel to sit closer to the body when clipped to a D-ring. This design also allows the included double bolt snap to swing out of the way and lay against the handle, negating the need to remove the clip for quick deployment.
- By using an all-machined spool design rather than injection molded plastic, tight tolerances can be used at the spool-to-frame interface, making the Slide Lock 2 incredibly smooth to operate and highly resistant to jamming. If the spool does need to be removed, it is a simple procedure using only a 3/16-inch hex wrench to remove the axle. There are no small parts, washers, or clips to lose. A small “fuel gauge” slot on the front panel of the spool allows the diver to see how much line remains at a glance. The fully knurled inner spindle and line-lock holes on the spool side plate completely prevent any slipping of the line on the spool when reeling up.
