Lim Wei Jian –
This compass is very easy to read, even when the visibility underwater is poor. The adjustable strap fits well over my wetsuit, but I wish the markings on the dial were just a little bigger.

Thank you for your feedback, Mr. Lim. We’re glad to hear you find the compass easy to use and will share your suggestion about the dial markings with our product team.
Rashidah Mahmud –
Does the luminous dial glow long enough for night dives, or do I need to shine my torch on it during the dive?

Hi Ms. Rashidah, the luminous dial provides visibility in low-light conditions, but for best results on night dives, we recommend briefly shining your torch on the dial to recharge the glow as needed.
Huang Mei Lin –
Super comfortable to wear and doesn’t get in the way when I’m checking my gauges. The side-view window is a nice touch for quick readings.
