A compass would only work for route recording if was held in the same position relative to your heading for the whole dive,

Based on one trip to Koh Samui, the dive ops on Koh Samui put you in a boat and go to Koh Tao. The diving at Koh Tao was OK, but there were a huge number of people in the water., it was like peak hour traffic. We did another trip saying on Koh Yao Noi, where the local dive op picked us up...
