Compasses

I need to get a compass and could use a bit of help selecting one. What is your favorite dive compass? How do you have it mounted? Is the Suunto SK-7 as good as it sounds or is there something better out there? Thanks.

I like the SK-7 and use this as the mount https://www.deepseasupply.com/index.php?product=47

Yes, the SK-7 is as good as all are saying. I had a Uwatec compass before it, and the difference is huge. You will probably forget about keeping the compass really level, the SK-7 will move freely at any angle that your hand will consider "level" enough.

I use the retractor version - I find it more confortable to hold while aiming than the wrist version.

I have a Sherwood compass mounted in my console...it's OK. I got my son the Suunto SK-7 with a retractor for his birthday and it's VERY NICE. I'm thinking at some point mine will be upgraded to the SK-7.

I've used several different brands. The SK-7 is by far the best. I also use the DSS mount that Teamcasa posted the link for. Save yourself the trouble and expense that others of us have encountered and do it right the first time. You can thank us later

Another SK-7 in a DSS mount.

As most have said here, the Suunto SK-7 w/ a bunjeed DSS mount is the way to go.:thumbs-up
