Suunto SK7 mount question

[stuartv]

I like having my compass mounted on the back of my right hand.

The wrist bungee is looped with a Fishman knot, so the knot can slide and adjust the wrist loop to be bigger or smaller. I tied the finger loop as a fixed size. The compass is a DGX Tech compass ($39 from Dive Gear Express and comes with the bungee mount). They do also have a "Deluxe Pro" compass which is tall like the Suunto and provides the same 30 degree tilt capability.

Do not use any metal instrument to pry it out of the mount.

How you mount it determines how you hold it and how you read it and at the end determines how accurate your navigation will be. Read more about navigation boards.

Had you taken the "NAUI Master Scuba Diver" course with a NAUI Instructor, you would have learned more about it and understood what the statement meant and gained better underwater navigation skills

or my basic OW course ;-)

Just trying to stay within context of another ongoing thread

You are, as usual, assuming a lot and confusing things. I also find the anchor line just fine, even without taking the Naui whatever course.

correct, but the divers ability to use it accurately is dependent on the ability to get the direction of travel indicator bisecting the body. That is very difficult while on a wrist. Wrist is good enough for short range navigation or getting general directions of travel, but is not nearly accurate enough for long range or blue water navigation

I agree if you have short arms .....

Wait!

You guys can't feel earth's magnetic field and use it to navigate?

@tbone1004 and I aren't coming out with new or unknown information here, this is a fact if you want to do precise navigation especially in limited visibility conditions and need to be spot on in your navigation. If you are diving in crystal clear visibility in day light, your need for precise spot on compass navigation may not be as critical we it needs to be for other locations with less visibility. With NAUI, we require a much higher skill level in navigation (compass and natural) than what is required in other agencies' courses especially at the "Master Scuba Diver" level.

Yes, the bezel pops out.
Then the sealed compass module comes out of the wrist mount.

Do the reverse to mount it in the new mount.

Thank you very much!
