A compass should work fine just about anywhere on the planet. All you have to do is check the local variation which will be different. You don't say where you are moving to (north west Australia, etc) but if you're thinking about that area, then your present wet suit should be fine. The only other thing I'd say is flog your tanks and weights before leaving. Very heavy to transport and readily available to purchase / replace when you arrive.
