So our analog compasses went tits up during our last trip. Getting replacement modules turned out to be a bit of a PITA not mention $$$. There are better and cheaper analog alternatives. Now Shearwater releases the Petrel with a digital compass. For the number of times I really need a compass underwater I am willing to give it a try - but that would mean selling our current petrels. My local shop did not have a Petrel2 in stock and the tech who went to DEMA did not try the compass.
Some digital compasses response pretty quickly others not fast. Accuracy is also an issue. As such, I am curious to get some feed back from those who have been early adopters and used the compass.
