Enjoy this watch, though I agree the alarm is a little quiet.

I recently started diving... I know this isn't a dive watch so I'm not going to bet my safety on it, but I was wondering if anyone knew if:

-Would the descent / ascent rate would work accurately under water?
-Will the compass function also work underwater?
-Will the watch corrode or leak if I wear it on a dive?

At the very least I could use it to monitor the time I spend underwater. I have the stainless version with the rubber strap...

Thanks for any info.,

	Compass Compasses are sensitive, absolutely crucial instruments to precision navigation. The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more.
