Product Description

MARES HANDY COMPASS – SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

The Mares Handy Compass – Southern Hemisphere is a compact and durable underwater navigation instrument designed for scuba divers who require reliable directional guidance during their dives. Specifically balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, this practical compass is ideal for underwater navigation in South African waters and other Southern Hemisphere diving destinations.

Featuring an oil-filled compass housing, the Mares Handy Compass provides stable directional readings, helping divers maintain their bearings while exploring underwater environments.

The compass is manufactured using shockproof and scratch-resistant elastomer technopolymer, offering protection against everyday impacts and wear during diving activities.

Designed for convenient attachment to a BCD (Buoyancy Control Device), the compass features a specialised housing that allows it to be used with a compatible retractor. This keeps the compass easily accessible during dives without requiring a wrist-mounted navigation instrument.

A practical side-reading window allows divers to monitor their direction while swimming, making underwater navigation more convenient and efficient.
