Detailed Description

Heavy-Duty Insurance for Your Underwater Camera Rig

Accidentally dropping a camera housing or lighting setup in deep water or strong current is every diver's nightmare. The SeaLife Large Gear Retractor acts as a reliable safety line, keeping your gear anchored to your BCD D-ring at all times while preventing accidental drops to the seafloor.

Smooth Extension & Automatic Streamlining

Designed specifically for the weight of underwater camera housings and Sea Dragon lights, the retractor exerts strong holding force to keep gear tucked neatly against your chest during entry, surface swims, and swimming through currents. When you spot a subject, simply pull the camera forward—the 32-inch cable unspools smoothly without binding or excessive tension.

Built for Saltwater Environments

Constructed with a impact-resistant polycarbonate housing, a stainless steel internal spring, and high-strength braided line, the SL988 is built for frequent saltwater use. Its self-flushing design makes post-dive care simple—rinse thoroughly with fresh water through the open ports to maintain smooth retraction season after season.
