MARES Handy Compass: Your Reliable Partner for Underwater Navigation

Navigate the underwater world with absolute confidence using the MARES Handy Compass. Engineered for divers who demand precision, reliability, and convenience, this essential piece of instrumentation ensures you always know your heading. Whether you are exploring a new reef, completing a search pattern, or simply finding your way back to the anchor line, the Handy Compass is the trustworthy tool you need to make every dive safer and more enjoyable. Its intuitive design and robust construction make it a top choice for both novice and experienced divers seeking a dedicated, high-performance navigation instrument.

Unmatched Convenience and Accessibility

The MARES Handy Compass lives up to its name with a design focused on seamless integration into your dive kit. It is a compass with a case, specially conceived to be attached to the BC, for use with a retractor. This brilliant design means your compass is always within reach but never in your way, eliminating the need to fumble with pockets or manage dangling equipment. By attaching it to a retractor on your BCD, you create a streamlined profile, reducing drag and preventing entanglement. When you need to take a bearing, a simple pull brings the compass to your viewing position, and it retracts neatly back into place when you´re done. This hands-free accessibility allows you to focus on your dive, your buoyancy, and the stunning marine life around you.

Built for the Rigors of Diving

Mares understands that dive gear must be tough. That´s why the Handy Compass is protected by a durable, form-fitting boot made from a shock-resistant and scratch-resistant elastomer. This rugged housing shields the precision instrument inside from the inevitable bumps, drops, and scrapes that occur during shore entries, boat dives, and underwater exploration. You can dive with peace of mind, knowing your compass is well-protected and built to last season after season. The oil-filled capsule ensures the compass card remains stable and fluid, providing smooth, jitter-free rotation for quick and accurate readings even in surge or current. The large, easy-to-read face with clear markings and a prominent lubber line makes navigation effortless, even in lower visibility conditions.

To ensure the highest degree of accuracy, this specific model of the MARES Handy Compass has been professionally balanced for use in the Northern Hemisphere (Zone 1). Due to the Earth´s magnetic field, compasses must be balanced for different geographic zones to allow the card to rotate freely and provide a correct reading. Using this compass in the Southern Hemisphere will result in inaccurate readings. Please verify you are purchasing the correct compass for your primary diving locations.
