Dude, these hangers are clutch! Used to just throw everything in a bag and hope for the best. Now my reels hang right with my wetsuit - I can grab my whole setup in seconds. Plus that lobster gauge with the bottle opener? Absolute fire. Measured a keeper last weekend then popped a beer to celebrate. My dive buddies were jealous AF. would recommend to anyone tired of their gear being a mess.

Finally, organized dive gear!
The reel hangers are brilliant. I used to lose track of which reels I had and what was in my bag. Now everything stays with my wetsuit on the hanger. Packing for dives takes half the time because I can see all my gear organized in one spot.

Lobster gauge + bottle opener = perfection


Just used the lobster measuring stick last weekend. Measured my catch, then cracked open a cold one right on the boat with the built-in bottle opener. It's the little details like this that make Deep Current products worth every penny. Practical AND fun!

These hangers keep my reels organized with my suits - I know exactly what gear I have ready to go. No more last-minute scrambling or forgetting essential equipment. Everything stays together and my dive prep is so much smoother now.
