So higher profile dive compasses allow more tilt before the dial gets stuck. But they appear to be bulky, at least from my view from the bridge as keyboard commander of the USS Interwebs. But are the high profile compasses easier to read through the side glass or is there no difference? I know the Suunto compasses are great, but I'm not willing to pay over $100. I was looking at the DGX Tech compass, but I wonder about the visibility of the lower profile.
 
Fairdinkum you're really taxing me here BoltSnap


the MAXIMUM tilt angle for NORMAL operation is 19.5 degrees

If you're not interested in normal operation then LEAN DEGREE 30


Same here

can work normally at least 50 m underwater

58m


Thing is they printed this twice in your picture

'the maximum tilt angle for normal operation is 19.5 degrees"

so the angle for normal operation must be 39 degrees


See there it is there you go!
