Product Information
The Suunto SK-8 Console Mount Back NH is a liquid-filled dive compass built to mount on the back of a combo instrument console, balanced for Northern Hemisphere use. Made in Finland, it delivers faster stabilization and enhanced underwater readability, with an upgraded magnet for use over a wider area of the globe.
Who it is for
This compass suits divers who run a console-style gauge setup and want a dedicated compass mounted on the back of that console rather than on a wrist strap. Because it carries Suunto's upgraded magnet, it suits traveling divers, as NH and SH models can be used over a wider area of the globe.
Key details
- Liquid-filled dive compass with faster stabilization and enhanced underwater readability.
- Balanced for the Northern Hemisphere (NH); a separate Southern Hemisphere (SH) version is also published by Suunto.
- Upgraded magnet allows both Northern and Southern Hemisphere models to be used over a wider area of the globe.
- Phosphorescent compass card for low-light and night dive legibility.
- Large side-reading window and a firm-grip bezel with a ratchet at every fifth degree for precise heading adjustments.
- High tilt compensation for stable readings even when the compass is not held perfectly level.
- Made in Finland.
- SKU SS021123000.
Compatibility and sizing

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the NH designation mean on the Suunto SK-8 Console Mount Back compass?
NH stands for Northern Hemisphere, meaning this SK-8 Console Mount Back compass is balanced for accurate heading readings in Northern Hemisphere waters. Suunto also publishes an SH (Southern Hemisphere) version of the same console-mount compass for divers who primarily dive south of the equator.
Can the Suunto SK-8 Console Mount Back NH be used outside the Northern Hemisphere?
Suunto's upgraded magnet lets both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere SK-8 models be used over a wider area of the globe. However, for divers who spend most of their time in Southern Hemisphere waters, Suunto also offers a dedicated SH-balanced version of this console mount compass.
How is the Console Mount Back version different from a strap mount SK-8?
The Console Mount Back NH is built to attach to the back position of a combo instrument console alongside your gauges, while Suunto's strap mount SK-8 attaches to a wrist strap. The Console Mount Back NH mounts to the back of a combo console, while Suunto's strap mount SK-8 attaches to a strap.
