DR Dive Log Software

Original thread modified to include new knowledge.

Hello,

I just purchased a used Nitek Trio and it arrived today! bouncebounce

I found this thread regarding the Software/Vista/Docking cable compatibility. Drats. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/dive-rite/340717-nitek-duo-trio-x64.html

I'm interested in buying used docking cable for the Nitek Trio.

The software is hit and miss. If it works at all not all of the functions will be available. If the download cable is CHEAP I would buy it. Otherwise don't waste your money. There is another thread about the software and compatibility issues...

Thanks Chicken.

Well, that thread was surely very enlightening. I still use a paper logbook for identifying gear changes, dive profile, location, etc. I am switching from a Suunto Cobra and I do find that the Dive Manger software extrapolates more details from the computer than the dive log itself displays.

But, my Suunto Cobra is also air integrated so we are talking apples and oranges. The Dive Manager pulls gas statistics, which the Nitek 3 won't even have.

So, maybe not downloading to a computer is not such a bad thing for me, since I do keep a paper copy of my dives. I guess I can always "draw" the dive profile as shown on the Nitek 3 screen.
