Compass while scuba diving?
-
How do I access the compass while scuba diving? It seems the buttons are all reassigned to dive-specific functions and I can’t find how to access the compass in diving mode.
Also, the compass doesn’t seem to have an option to lock a bearing, which is really a pretty basic and essential function of a compass. Or am I missing something?
-
I have the same question. Really hope there is something we are missing.
-
@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.
