Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Suunto SK-8 Capsule NH and SH?
The NH capsule, SKU SS021120000, is balanced for the Northern Hemisphere, while the SH capsule, SKU SS021121000, is balanced for the Southern Hemisphere. Both are liquid-filled Suunto SK-8 compass capsules; the difference is the hemisphere balance for the region where you dive.
Will this capsule fit my Suunto compass wrist boot or console?
Yes, the SK-8 Capsule NH is built to fit Suunto compass console boots and wrist boots, making it a direct replacement for a worn or damaged capsule in those housings. If you are unsure your boot matches this capsule, contact DiveCatalog.com for help confirming fit.
How do I know if I need the Northern or Southern Hemisphere version?
Choose the Northern Hemisphere capsule, SKU SS021120000, if you dive primarily north of the equator, since it is balanced to keep the compass card level in that region. Divers who do most of their diving south of the equator should use the Southern Hemisphere version, SKU SS021121000, instead.
Is this capsule a complete replacement part or does it need other components?
This listing is for the Suunto SK-8 Capsule NH itself, the liquid-filled compass capsule, SKU SS021120000. It is designed to be installed into an existing Suunto compass console boot or wrist boot, so you will need a compatible boot on hand to mount it in.
