The SK-8 has been optimized for faster stabilization and enhanced readability. Both northern and southern hemisphere models can be used over a wider area of the globe thanks to an upgraded magnet.

The superior SK-8 has an exceptional tilt potential of /-30 degrees, which is 2 to 3 times larger than conventional diving compasses. The firm-grip bezel with a ratchet at every fifth degree is specially designed to prevent sand and dirt contamination, allowing smooth turning in all conditions.

By adding the SK-8 compass to different Suunto Combo consoles, you can create a personal console that meets your specific needs. For example, CB-Double can be made by adding the SK-8/DS compass to the reverse side of the CB-One. Or you can configure your CB-One console to a CB-Two by adding an SK-8 compass on top. If you add the SK-8/ DS compass on to the reverse side of the CB-Two In Line, you get a CB Double In Line. And CB-Three In Line console is made by adding a SK-8 compass on top of a Two In Line console.
