The idea from this thread came from the thread started by barb on good equipment.
We have all bought items of kit we later regret but often our pride prevents us from admitting it.
In my case I admit it was an all singing, all dancing digital compass, which turned out to be an abject failure. (A good idea at the time!)
Like all divers, my brain stops working once I hit the water and it is all but impossible to use any of the advanced feaures on this item of equipmement.
Secondly, I find it difficult to read it in dim light.
In any case it is only accurate to about five degrees.
Hardly £100 well spent.
I have reverted to using a normal magnetic diver's compass, which is more than adequate.
