when you pull the plug and the water has started swirling down the hole if you give it a big swirl in the other direction it will go in that direction and not revert back to the original direction...

Thanks Ian. Told some divers over here about this very subject 5 years ago. Looked at me as though I was mad.

My English compass worked OK in Tassie too, until I trod on it. I use a Silva compass anyway - works just as well as the unnerwater ones, as long as it's oil filled.

Still, I guess with 25M vis, it isn't all that critical.

Just thinking about it, I wonder if our (Aus) troops posted to Afghanistan get new compasses issued? Although I'm guessing they live or die by GPS these days anyway.
