Reasons to Carry a Scuba Compass

One of the primary reasons to carry a scuba diving compass is to maintain your course underwater. Unlike on land where you can use landmarks, the open ocean doesn’t provide many, if any, signposts. A compass helps you follow a planned path to ensure you can return to your entry point.

Most dive compasses are analog, so even if your dive watch provides an internal compass, it’s smart to carry this low-tech, highly effective tool as a backup.

How to Use a Scuba Diving Compass

Before you dive, be sure to calibrate your compass. For accuracy, hold it level and away from any magnetic interference, like dive gear or metal objects.

The compass needle always points north. To determine your direction, align the compass with your body, and follow where the needle points. If you're aiming for a specific heading, adjust your course accordingly.

Monitor your compass regularly to make sure you stay on track.

Special Features to Explore in Scuba Dive Compasses

Side reading windows are handy for reading your compass from different angles, which is crucial when you’re in various diving positions. Illuminated compass dials are a lifesaver in low-light conditions or night dives.

Oil-filled compasses are less prone to leaking. They provide better stability in rough water conditions, so they’re ideal for open-water divers.

Some compasses have a tilt-potential feature that lets you read them accurately, even when they’re not perfectly level. A ratcheting bezel makes it easier to set your desired heading without accidentally changing it during your dive.
