Product Information
The Scubapro Compact FS-1.5 Compact Dive Compass is a compact underwater navigation compass mounted in a pressure-resistant, oil-filled polycarbonate housing, calibrated to the Northern Hemisphere and published by Scubapro as item #05.018.101 in the wrist-mount configuration. It is built for divers who want a simple, easy-to-read analog bearing instrument that weighs only 0.25 lb (0.1134 kg).
Who it is for
This is a compass for recreational and traveling divers who navigate by bearing underwater. Scubapro lists the activity type for the FS-1.5 as travel and recreational diving, and the light weight helps keep bulk off your wrist so trim and maneuverability are not affected. Because this version is calibrated to the Northern Hemisphere, it is intended for diving north of the equator.
Key details
- Housing: pressure-resistant, oil-filled polycarbonate
- Calibration: Northern Hemisphere only
- Weight: 0.25 lb (0.1134 kg)
- Item number: 05.018.101, UPC 4048336331296

Compatibility and sizing
Scubapro publishes the FS-1.5 in two configurations: this wrist-mount version, item #05.018.101, and a retractor version, item #05.018.121. The retractor version is the one Scubapro designates for drysuits and thicker wetsuits, since it retracts when not in use for quick access over bulky exposure protection. If you dive a standard wetsuit and prefer the compass fixed on your wrist, the wrist-mount version is the straightforward choice.
