## Overview

The Suunto Sk8 Wrist Compass redefines underwater navigation with its exceptional ±30° tilt tolerance—2 to 3 times better than conventional compasses—ensuring accurate readings even at challenging angles. Featuring a phosphorescent compass card for superior low-light visibility and multiple mounting options (wrist, add-on-back, add-on-end), it adapts seamlessly to your diving style. Enhanced with a global-grade magnet and faster needle stabilization, the Sk8 is engineered for professional divers demanding precision and reliability beneath the waves.

## Description

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. 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.

Review: By far the best scuba compass I’ve found - Not making a fashion statement with this but it is designed for functionality. I find this compass very accurate and easy to read.
Review: Hard to read - I've been trying different dive compasses and have only three simple criteria: Have to be clearly legible, Accurate, and well made. I wanted to like this compass as it is well made and very accurate. However, I have lousy vision and I can't see the lubber line. The compass card isn't white, but has a greenish tint, considerably decreasing the contrast with the headings. Finally, inexplicably, the Bezel is a grey / silver plastic with black numerals, making quick reading impossible (for me). Great compass if you have great vision.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By far the best scuba compass I’ve found
*by K***F on July 13, 2019*

Not making a fashion statement with this but it is designed for functionality. I find this compass very accurate and easy to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard to read
*by K***G on September 13, 2022*

I've been trying different dive compasses and have only three simple criteria: Have to be clearly legible, Accurate, and well made. I wanted to like this compass as it is well made and very accurate. However, I have lousy vision and I can't see the lubber line. The compass card isn't white, but has a greenish tint, considerably decreasing the contrast with the headings.

### ⭐ Very dissapointed in how it lasted
*by M***E on April 2, 2014*

Bought the Suunto SK7 wrist mount about a year and half ago. Had about 40ish dives on it when it crapped out. Plastic lubber line cover lost its seal and miner oil leaked out and salt water leached into the housing. The last couple of days of the latest dive trip, we went on several shore dives where there was a lot of sand getting into the equipment when coming ashore. Bezel was a little hard to turn at that time but considering what I paid for this compass I thought it would have held up better than it did. Contacted Suunto North America and Aqualung customer support and was told by both that the one year warranty had expired and I had no option of replacement. The only option was to repair the compass. After reading about a lot of people raving about this compass on line, I was really disappointed in it not being able to handle a little adverse conditions especially for the premium price that you pay for them. I was really expecting to get a lot of years of use from this compass. I definitely cannot recommend this piece of equipment
