Compass while scuba diving?
-
@arnoutl I can’t wait to see if there is something we have missed and it will have the compass for diving!
-
@JeremyB Me too. If Suunto did not include this, it was a major mistake.
-
My understanding (which can be wrong, don’t take this as a promise) is that underwater compass will be available in the next software update.
-
@pavel-samokha Thanks Pavel, any idea (without any commitment) when that upgrade is planned?
-
@arnoutl unfortunately I have no idea

@pavel-samokha
In the D5 the compass exists, just select it on the screens.
In the ocean it is not at the same point and therefore probably does not exist at the moment
I will also wait for updates -
I’ve notice it right now after my first dive. Since I’m an Instructor and in a lot of cases a dive guide, compass is an essential tool underwater . My D5 had the option. It was perfect. Ocean does not. At least not right now. I think Suunto here made a small mistake .

@VasilisCY compass will come with next update, it’s already being tested. I also don’t know why didn’t they include in the release firmware.
-
@isazi May I have two questions
- Will there be an update (when it comes out) similar to the options in Vertical and RACE? (with watch screen settings)
- Will there be an option in the update that in free diving mode we will receive the current dive time and not a total accumulated time?
-
I agree that these are essential dive compass functions. Let’s keep a keen eye on the next software update before we run to the shop. Would also be great if Suunto could confirm themselves. Are they monitoring this forum?

@jwil02 I know that many things presented here in the forum reached the attentive ears of Suunto
-
Hi all, is there any news of when we will see the new firmware with the compass
-
@Frank-Scholer it’s being tested (I have it on my watch) but Suunto does not share its update roadmap.

Thanks @isazi for the update. Let‘s hope then that it will be rolled out in the next few weeks…
