I used to use the Suunto combo console, which has a compass on the end, beyond the computer. That was "OK," but when I worked hard to get the compass card level while navigating, I found the HP hose was restraining me. So I've now removed the compass piece from the console and have remounted the compass in a DSS-provided Suunto compass housing. Now I'll be able to try my luck navigating with a wrist-mounted compass. But if it starts to get banged or snagged during wreck dives, I might need another approach, like fishing a compass on a lanyard out of a pocket.
What works for you when you're navigating? Do you use your compass frequently? When you use it is it mostly for general direction-finding or precision navigation?
