Oil-filled for precision operation to depths of 260 feet (80 m), the Dive Rite Compass can be worn on the wrist or mounted to any standard high pressure hose.

The compass features a rotating 360-degree bezel with click stops and direct and reciprocal index points. The special design of the compass needle card and powerful magnets provides smooth movement across a wide range of motion. Large, easy-to-read numbers are displayed on the face and in the side window with index marks at 10-degree increments. For a lower profile, DIR enthusiasts will replace the rubber strap with shock cord bungee (see image).
