Etymology
From swim + line.
Meanings
-
A cable or line that is used to connect divers so that they are spaced out within sight of each other.
The main concern with the swimline is that without some form of control there is no clear idea of the path of the search. Thus a survey of a defined area can be a hit-or-miss operation. One solution is to lay a jackstay on the seabed with the end diver of the swimline follows.
