SUUNTO SK-8 BLACK console mount

If you’re serious about underwater navigation, the Suunto SK-8 Black Console Mount is one of the best compass setups you can add to your dive kit!

At Essex Scuba, we always tell divers that a good compass isn’t just for technical divers — it’s an essential bit of equipment for any diver who wants more confidence underwater. Whether you’re navigating a wreck, finding your way back to the shot line in low visibility, or simply improving your underwater skills, the Suunto SK-8 is an absolute classic for a reason.

This console-mounted version gives you all the legendary reliability of the SK-8 compass in a secure, easy-to-read housing that integrates neatly into your dive setup. It’s tough, dependable, and designed specifically for demanding diving conditions.

What makes the SK-8 stand out from cheaper compasses is its superb performance underwater. The high-tilt compensation means the compass remains accurate and easy to read even when your positioning isn’t absolutely perfect — something that makes a massive difference during real dives, especially in UK conditions.

The bold black design looks fantastic and keeps everything clean and professional on your console setup, while the clear markings and smooth movement make underwater navigation far easier and less stressful.
