yes....... as mentioned before, you may never need it UNTIL you really, really need it. We never used ours for a couple of years, then we went on a liveaboard where there is no DM in the water... gotta be able to find your way back to the boat! Then we went diving in Calif where the vis is 30' on a good day and kelp forests block your view, once again we had to find our way back to boat. My buddy/husband has gotten very good about taking a heading as soon as we get in the water now, just in case.
another time you will need it is when diving from a boat or shore and you are trying to locate a wreck, or some other underwater feature. Take a reading at the surface pointing at the bouy, then drop down and swim to that heading underwater.
get the compass.
