Diving compass
An underwater compass is a compact navigation tool which can either be worn on the wrist like a watch or integrated in a gauge consol, or attached to the BCD with a special retractor. Some dive computers are equipped with in-built digital compasses. No matter which model you prefer,
a common liquid filled magnetic compass should fit these requirements:
- Phosphorescent card
- Top and side reading
- Easy to read bearing indicators
- High tilt potential
- Rotating bezel with luminescent markings
