I’m looking to buy my first reel to start having some basic experience and training in preparation for a future tech or cave 1.
What sort of thing are you looking to use it for before your chosen course? The reason I ask is that I'm guessing that it won't be cave until you actually do cave1. I'd also suggest that it isn't necessary to have experience or to practice for tech1. Tech1 isn't really about learning to be good at dealing with line, it's part of the course to distract you and occupy you to see how you deal with the other situations. If you practice a lot before the course then it sort of defeats the point of line being in tech1

Any videos, link or reading material to get oriented on the basic?
There's a good series of articles that were in Quest:
Quest 5.3 | Global Underwater Explorers
Quest 5.4 | Global Underwater Explorers
Quest 6.1 | Global Underwater Explorers
