Suunto SK8 diving compass with elastic rubber

Unlike other more conventional diving compasses, the Suunto SK8 has a tilt potential of more than +/- 30 degrees, as well as having a high resistance magnet. Reading can be done through the upper screen or through a side reading window, while the phosphorescent compass card allows you to easily read the numbers. It contains a 360 ° rotating bezel with a ratchet every 5 °, which provides a smooth turn in different conditions, without contamination by sand or dirt. The bezel has numerical headings after each 30 ° interval and indication marks after each 5 ° interval. Heading indicators allow lubber line reading easily. In the use of the compass there are two balance zones to consider, NH (northern hemisphere) and SH (southern hemisphere). In practice, this means that the Suunto compass designed for the northern hemisphere will continue to operate at a fair distance in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa. The instrument can be mounted on various analog consoles.
