So.... my wife just pointed out something that I never noticed for some reason. Suunto marked E at 270 degrees, W at 090, North at 180, and South at 000. See this image
Looking online it seems a lot of dive compasses are marked this way. I know non-dive compasses are marked "correctly" such as this . Are we missing something?
Edit: Ok we found the explanation. I still think it backwards as all heck but I understand the reasoning now at least.
