Product Description
SUUNTO SK-8 DIVE COMPASS – BLACK STRAP MOUNT (SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE)
The Suunto SK-8 Dive Compass is a premium underwater navigation instrument designed to deliver accurate directional guidance, excellent readability, and dependable performance during scuba diving. Manufactured in Finland, this high-quality, liquid-filled compass is built for divers who require reliable navigation in a variety of underwater conditions.
Specifically balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, the SK-8 features an upgraded magnet that allows it to operate across a wider geographical area while providing faster stabilisation and improved directional accuracy.
The compass incorporates a phosphorescent compass card for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, making it easier to maintain your bearing during deeper dives or when underwater visibility is reduced.
Its large side-reading window allows divers to check their heading while swimming, while the firm-grip rotating bezel features positive ratchet clicks at every five degrees for precise bearing adjustments.
Designed with high tilt compensation, the Suunto SK-8 remains functional even when the compass is not held perfectly level, offering greater convenience during underwater navigation.
Supplied with a comfortable black wrist strap mount, this compass is easy to wear and access during dives, making it an excellent choice for recreational and experienced scuba divers.
