DESCRIPTION
The SK-7 has set a new standard for dive compasses. The superior SK-7 features an exceptional tilt potential of +/- 30 degrees, which is 2-3 times larger than in conventional diving compasses, easy-to-read numerals on a phosphorescent compass card, and a largeside-reading window.

The firm-grip bezel with a ratchet at every fifth degree is especially designed to prevent sand and dirt contamination, thus allowing smooth turning in all conditions.

this version comes with the retractor and quick-release snap + split ring. Attach it to a shoulder D-ring and it's out of your way until needed. When it's time to navigate you'll appreciate the huge side-reading window, phosphorescent compass card and a bezel that ratchets every five degrees for confident course setting.

Please note: The compass we sell is calibrated for Zone 1/NH

    great stand alone, you need to pull it seperate from other instruments.
    I lost my first one; bought a second. expensive for a compass, but worth it.
    settels fast, glows with only a fast burst from a dive light, numbers easy to read. Very intuitive.

    Weak retractor

    The retractor spring failed and there is no way to open it up to repair. Unable to replace retractor portion of compass without buying a whole new product. Expected more from Suunto.

    Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Retractable Compass:

    The only negative really isn't so negative, but this compass will disappear if left on a BCD. I found that out through first hand experience while in Curacao. Don't leave it laying around unsecured it will walk off !!! This was what I used during my Advanced and Navigational certifications and it really is simple to use.

      After reading lots of reviews, I decided to buy this compass and do not regret my purchase. It's easy to use, solid construction and love the retractable. Will buy another one for my husband.

        Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Retractable Compass:

        I use compasses on a regular basis for diving. This was a replacement for my broken compass. Such a great compass. It is engineered well and sturdy. The dial is easy to read and changes to different heading quickly. The dial also charges quickly with a dive light. The bezel allows you to quickly dial in intended course and works great with 7MM gloves. The retractor is sturdy and has a nice, strong recoil. I am very satisfied with this compass. A little on the expensive side, but well worth the money if you rely on a compass for underwater navigation.

          I smashed my 18yr old Suunto integrated compass last month so this was a replacement. I opted for the retractable to avoid another smashing incident. I did some Navigation this morning and really like this setup more. Not much has changed on this compass. Still good quality and a little pricey. I have not been dissapointed in any Suunto products
