works fine, needle did stick a bit this weekend on S/R
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 diving's more frustrating events. Don't always need your compass for navigation; this convenient retractor mount compass module is your best choice.
Navigation was never easier with this handy retractor mount compass module. Retractor is equipped with two choices of mounting clips that easily attach to your BCD. You can choose from a plastic snap clip or stainless key ring. Both come complete with quick disconnect fitting allowing you to remove compass from BCD after the dive for safe storage. When you need to take a compass heading simply pull the self-retracting cable to desired length and when finished it will automatically retract the cable for you. Boot has side scan notch for side-reading gun-sight accurate navigation.
The compass is liquid filled for a quick and responsive movement. A ratchet bezel with compass headings in 30° numbered increments and indicator marks for every 10°. Bezel has twin heading indicators for alignment of compass course and a lubber line across the compass face. A side window with compass degrees allows gun-sight accurate use when precise headings are required. Compass card is luminescent for low light conditions.

The inside cord will extend out 24 inches.

It extends 24 inches... I clip it to my bc left side near the pocket and I hold the compas out in front of me. I've never had any issue with it not being long enough. When I'm finished navigating I just let it go and it snaps right back where it's supposed to go. This is a great setup I really like it.

I returned this compass as the quality of the actual compass wasn't very good once I received it. I bought this one and the Suunto SK7 at the same time and I kept the Suunto. So glad I did, after 2 years, and 800 dives, it is still in perfect condition.

What are the dimensions of this compass?
MATT M
The diameter is 2 1/4" and it's 1 3/8" deep. These are approximent measurments since I measurrd the compass in the retractable housing.
FLETCHER L
I do not know, but after having used this, I would recommend you do as I do, return it, andbuy the suunto retractable instead. It has been rock solid over the past 500 dives.
ROBERT S
L 5.5" x W 2.25 " x D 2.25" , Compass is 2.25"x2.25"x2.25".
DAVID C
The compass is 4" long by 2" wide and 2.5" deep. The actual compass has a diameter of 2". Hope this helps.
EUGENE J
very well worth it! easy to grab and see.
JERRY S
As pictured, with a clip, the length is 7 inches. The width of the compass is 2 inches, and the mounted height is 2 1/8 inches at the compass.
I carry it hooked to a BC ring and stored in a BC pocket. Easily accessible if I need it. The retractor allows full extension of your arm while swimming for sighting your next compass leg.

what is the tilt potential on this compass?
KEN L
I believe that is somewhere around 30 degs. I use this as my primary compass since I sent with a hoseless gauges. It is very esy to use as far as leveling out for a reading.
JOSEPH C
I"m not sure I understand what you mean by "tilt potential". I always keep the compass level when using it. I notice if I don't keep it level the compass seems to be very slow. When level it works very well. I hope this helps.
