Looking for a dive compass under $50 that can be attached to a BCD—not a wrist. Suggestions?
Thanks

Yes indeed. Thanks. No reviews. Sorry, should clarify: Do you have a dive compass under $50 or close to $50-$60 that you like?
Go to any camping store and pick something shiny.
This is what I use:

No issues that I am aware of.Don't know this model and brand but I'm curious. I have always seen only scuba compasses used by scuba divers. For two reasons I guess: first, they have to resist the pressure of water that could flood a "normal" compass, especially if you dive quite deep. Second, the liquid/oil they contain is meant to keep the compass readable for a diver, who moves in the water in a "shaky" way that would make the compass difficult to read and unaccurate on the surface. Is it the same as a scuba compass? How deep did you dive with it?
