What are the materials used to construct the hose mount? Can it withstand extremely high water pressure?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for taking the time to review our Aropec CP-03 Wrist Mount Side View Compass! I’d be happy to help you with your question about the hose mount. According to our product design specifications, the hose mount is constructed from durable stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and can withstand high water pressure. It’s specifically designed to be reliable in harsh underwater environments. While we can’t provide an exact limit on the pressure it can handle, our testing shows that it can safely operate up to 300 meters deep in standard seawater conditions. However, please note that the actual performance may vary depending on specific use cases and environmental conditions. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! – Also, other customers have shown interest in this topic, they may also want to share their thoughts or experiences, please let’s continue this conversation!

I’ve been using the Aropec CP-03 Compass for my last five dives and I must say it’s a game-changer. The side and top reading capabilities are super helpful. However, the luminous dial could be brighter?

Natalie Tan –
Can I use the Aropec CP-03 without the hose mount? Is the wrist strap adjustable?
Diana Wong –
The Aropec CP-03 is a fantastic addition to any diver’s gear. It’s incredibly easy to read and the wrist strap is very comfortable. However, it does not come with a lanyard, which I think would be a nice feature.
Amitabh Ho –
I’m incredibly impressed with how well-built the Aropec CP-03 Compass is. It’s held up to multiple dives and has been incredibly accurate.
Rajeswari Ng –
What is the durability of the luminous dial?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Rajeswari. The luminous dial on the Aropec CP-03 Compass is designed to be rugged and durable, withstanding the underwater environment. It’s been tested to be resistant to pressure and saltwater corrosion, ensuring it remains functional even in harsh dive conditions. However, as with any electronic component, it’s possible that the luminous dial may eventually degrade over time with extended use. We recommend properly caring for the compass and handling it with care to maximize its lifespan.
