 review of Dive Rite wrist and hoze mount compassDec 17, 2008
By Colin Hagler
"C-Ray"
I like, and have used this for scuba diving. It works good as a compass. Because I wear a wetsuit, and all wetsuits compress smaller with depth, the strap would get loose at depth. It was not practical to mount this unit with the hoze mount, because it would have such a drag and snag profile in the water. I removed the band, and used shock cord (read bungee) as a wrist mount. I cross threaded 2 peices through the original mounting screws, and tied knots in the cord. This works much better, because with suit compression infinately variable due to changing depth constantly, the shock cord keeps it from moving and being loose. The compass itself is one of the BEST I have ever used. I would reccommend all serious divers to shock cord wrist mount this unit for a better, more secure and comfortable fit. It just slips over my gloves and wetsuit arm right into place. The lubber line and degreee markings are easy to see and use under water, and the magnetic platform moves even when not level, it is fairly forgiving.

 Good for very general orienteeringJun 13, 2011
By Adam L. Rogers
This product is great if you have the time to stop and wait for the needle to settle when you want to know where your going underwater, but horrible for swimming navigation. I think the issue is the lack of a tilt stop so any slight angle of the wrist or hose can put you off over 20 degrees. It will get you in the cardinal directions if you get it still and level, and just over thirty bucks its a bargain.
Bottom line: if you do a lot of shore diving or navigation diving, i'd recommend you pay for a more accurate model.

 It does not meet the requirementsMay 03, 2011
By Zuhair Y. Al Zuhair
I liked the fact that it can be either worn or hooked to the gauges hose. The numbers are written with very thin font making it hard to read. In addition, the viewing window on the front is hard to use. The degrees are not seen easy which makes it unpractical to use.
Amazon site should place more pictures of the product to make it easier for the customers to view what they are really getting.
The material is good.. but its design is bad.

 You get what you pay for!Sep 27, 2010
By Scuba Steve
I had bought the same compass in mid summer, and on my second dive, only down two 60 feet and it broke. Was not happy at all. I had to return to the surface just to find my way back to my starting point. Wasted Dive! I quess you get what you pay for. (Promate was good on the refund)
no precisionFeb 22, 2012
By Skier
Should be hold strictly horizontally. If you lean it - it changes measurement up to 40 degree.
Amazon requested at least 20 words in review, but i do not know what to add. Obviously this device cannot be used either underwater or in a dingy in ruff sea.
