The IDC Staff Review
"If you regularly travel down south or head across the equator on liveaboards, the Scubapro FS-2 is a fantastic pick. The 35° tilt compensation means you don't have to freeze your arm in a perfectly flat position to get an accurate heading, making underwater navigation much smoother."
