Product Information

The Scubapro FS-2 Wrist Mount Dive Compass is an oil-filled, analog navigation compass for recreational scuba divers, built around a floating magnet that is separate from the compass rose to deliver a tilt angle of up to 35 degrees and accurate readings in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres without rebalancing. It ships as item number 05.017.101 in a scratch-resistant polycarbonate case with a highly luminous dial.

Who it is for

This is a compass for recreational divers who want dependable underwater navigation without depending on a dive computer's digital compass. Because the FS-2 works in both hemispheres with no re-balancing, it suits traveling divers who dive the Caribbean one season and the South Pacific or Australia the next. The generous tilt tolerance makes it practical for reciprocal headings, square and triangle navigation patterns, wreck and reef orientation, and keeping a bearing while swimming in trim rather than holding the compass perfectly level.

Key details

  • Tilt angle: up to 35 degrees for reading and operation in nearly any position.
  • Floating magnet: separate from the compass rose for stabilized readings and a greater operating angle.
  • Case: oil-filled polycarbonate that resists scratches.
  • Dial: highly luminous for low-light conditions, with a side-view reading window for navigation accuracy.
  • Weight: 0.25 lb (0.1134 kg).
  • Hemisphere use: Northern and Southern, no re-balancing required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the FS-2's 35-degree tilt angle actually mean for navigation?

It means the compass still reads accurately when held off level by as much as 35 degrees. The FS-2 uses a floating magnet that is separate from the compass rose, so the card stays stabilized and keeps a greater operating angle. In practice you can hold a bearing while swimming in trim, on an ascent line or in current, instead of stopping to level the compass each time.

Can I use the Scubapro FS-2 compass in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres?

Yes. Scubapro rates the FS-2 for Northern and Southern hemisphere use with no re-balancing needed, which is why it suits traveling divers. The FS-2's floating magnet design avoids that, so the same compass works on trips to the Caribbean, Indonesia, Fiji or Australia.

What is the difference between the wrist-mount and retractor versions of the FS-2?

Scubapro offers the FS-2 in a wrist-mount version and a retractor version that attaches to a BCD or jacket. The wrist-mount version, item number 05.017.101, is worn on the wrist. The retractor version attaches to a BCD or jacket instead of the wrist. This listing is the wrist-mount configuration. Contact us at 888-701-4017 if you need help choosing.

Is the FS-2 readable at night or in low visibility?

Yes. The FS-2 uses a highly luminous dial that Scubapro specifies for low-light visibility, plus a side-view reading window that improves accuracy when you sight along a heading. The case is oil-filled polycarbonate that resists scratches.
