Product Information
The Scubapro FS-1.5 Dive Compass without Retractor is a compact underwater navigation instrument built in a pressure-resistant, oil-filled polycarbonate housing, calibrated for Northern Hemisphere diving and weighing just 0.2 lb (0.09 kg). This version is supplied without a retractor mechanism, keeping it simple for recreational and travel diving.
Who it is for
This compass suits recreational and travel divers who want a lightweight, straightforward navigation tool that adds minimal bulk to their existing gear setup. Because it skips the retractable design found on Scubapro's other FS-1.5 configuration, it suits divers who do not need the retractable design of the retractor version, and who dive primarily in Northern Hemisphere waters where accurate headings and bearings matter for staying oriented underwater.
Key details
- Housing: Pressure-resistant, oil-filled polycarbonate construction protects internal components at depth.
- Calibration: Northern Hemisphere only, for reliable bearings in northern dive regions.
- Weight: 0.2 lb (0.09 kg), a light addition to any gear setup.
- Display: Clear, legible markings designed for quick reading underwater.
- Activity type: Travel and recreational diving.
- Identifiers: MPN 05.018.111, UPC 4048336331319.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Scubapro FS-1.5 compass work in the Southern Hemisphere?
No. This version of the FS-1.5 is calibrated to the Northern Hemisphere, as published by Scubapro, so it is intended for diving north of the equator. Scubapro publishes this version as calibrated for the Northern Hemisphere only. If you dive mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, contact us at 888-701-4017 to confirm the correct calibration before ordering.
What is the difference between the retractor and wrist-mount FS-1.5?
Scubapro publishes two configurations: the wrist-mount version, item #05.018.101, and this retractor version, item #05.018.121. The retractor version, item #05.018.121, is designated by Scubapro for drysuits and thicker wetsuits and retracts when not in use. The wrist-mount version is item #05.018.101. This listing is the retractor model.

Scubapro lists the FS-1.5 Dive Compass w/Retractor at 3.74 inches long, 2.76 inches wide and 0.79 inches high, with a weight of 0.4 lb (0.18144 kg). Those compact dimensions and light weight keep bulk off your wrist between navigation legs.
Can I use this compass with a drysuit?

Is the Scubapro FS-1.5 without Retractor suitable for travel diving?
Yes. This compass is listed for travel and recreational diving. At 0.2 lb, it adds minimal weight and bulk to a travel dive kit while still providing Northern Hemisphere calibrated navigation.
What is the housing made of on the FS-1.5 without Retractor?
It uses a pressure-resistant, oil-filled polycarbonate housing. This construction protects the internal compass mechanism from water pressure at depth and helps keep the display easy to read during a dive.
