Product Information
The Suunto Compass Retractor is a BCD-mountable accessory that converts a Suunto wrist mount compass into a retractor-mounted unit, letting divers take a heading without a bulky wrist strap. It extends up to 25 in (63.5 cm) on a nylon-coated stainless steel cable rated to 60 lb (27.2 kg) breaking strength, then self-retracts when tension is released.
Who it is for
This retractor is built for divers who already own a Suunto wrist mount compass (Suunto SKU SQTSK7, also referenced as the SK8 wrist compass) and want to move it from the wrist to a BCD-mounted, quick-disconnect setup. It suits divers who prefer their compass clipped and out of the way until they need to take a heading, then pull the self-retracting cable to the length they need and let it snap back when finished.
Key details
- Converts a Suunto wrist mount compass to retractor mount and eliminates the wrist strap.

- 60 lb (27.2 kg) breaking strength to help prevent accidental loss of the compass.
