The Dive360 Take

This is the compass of choice for our instructors. The Suunto SK-8 doesn’t need to be held dead flat to work, which makes following a bearing and navigating underwater easier.

This is the Southern Hemisphere wrist-strap version, suited to New Zealand diving. A large side-reading window, luminous compass card and grippy bezel make it a practical compass to use on a dive.

It’s not the cheapest compass, but when you’re navigating back to the boat, it’s a piece of kit we’re happy to spend a little more on. Looking like a legend in front of your dive buddy is a nice bonus.

The serious stuff
  • Southern Hemisphere magnetic balance
  • Black wrist strap mounting
  • Large side-reading window and phosphorescent compass card
  • Firm-grip bezel with a ratchet at every fifth degree
  • High tilt compensation
  • Made in Finland
Why we like it

High tilt compensation makes it easier to follow a bearing without fussing over a perfectly level compass. The side-reading window and positive 5° bezel clicks help keep the job straightforward.

Who we recommend it to

Divers learning underwater navigation, and anyone who wants a wrist compass that is easier to use without having to hold it perfectly flat. This is the one our instructors choose.
