Product Information

The Mares Mission 1C Wrist Compass is a wrist-mounted diving compass built for front and side reading, with a scratch-resistant polycarbonate housing and an oil-filled, tilt-compensated capsule that lets the card settle quickly and read accurately even when the compass is not held perfectly level. It is supplied in the North hemisphere version under SKU 414404.

Who it is for

This is a straightforward navigation instrument for recreational and technical divers who want a dedicated compass on the wrist instead of a console. Front and side reading suits divers running a heading while swimming, so the bearing can be read from the front or the side without changing body position. Tilt compensation makes it practical for mid-water navigation and over uneven bottoms, while the adjustable strap lets it ride over a wetsuit or drysuit sleeve. It also works well as a backup bearing source for divers who already dive a computer or console.

Key details

Capsule: oil bath damping keeps the card steady so the bearing settles quickly

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you read the Mares Mission 1C from the side?

Yes. The Mission 1C is designed for front and side reading, so you can take a bearing from the front of the dial or from the side.

Does the Mission 1C need to be held level to read correctly?

No. The Mission 1C is tilt compensated, which means the card continues to give an accurate reading when the compass is not held perfectly level. The oil bath capsule also damps the card so the bearing settles quickly rather than swinging with each movement, which helps during mid-water navigation or over an uneven bottom.

Which hemisphere version is this compass balanced for?

This is the North hemisphere version of the Mission 1C, listed by Mares under SKU 414404. Call 888-701-4017 with hemisphere questions before ordering.

Will the strap fit over a drysuit sleeve?

Yes. The Mission 1C uses an adjustable, soft high resistance technopolymer strap that secures the compass over a wetsuit or drysuit sleeve.

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.
