Many divers take compasses for granted, considering them just an accessory to an overall dive gauge console system. Trying to navigate with a poorly designed or improperly functioning Compass can be one of divings more frustrating events. The sk-8 has set a new standard for dive compasses. The superior sk-8 features an exceptional tilt potential of +/- 30 degree degrees, which is 2-3 times larger than in conventional diving compasses. Sk-8, the latest edition of Suunto leading dive compasses, delivers even better underwater performance with faster stabilization and enhanced readability. The instrument can be used over a wider area of the globe thanks to an upgraded magnet.
