Question about dive computers

[-JD-]

@Diving Dubai, You are now officially on my list of SBers that I owe a BEvERage to. Thanks! That looks like the perfect solution to me.

@JackD342 Thanks too! Looked at some of them too, but I require something self sealing and want it to be as small as possible. SP seems to be the best fit for me.

Is there some generic dive computer software for PC that people use?

I have a Suunto Vyper Novo on the way with the USB cable and I wanted to grab the software that is for it. I saw the Suunto DM5 but for some reason that computer isn't mentioned as being compatible on their site. I downloaded it anyways though to try it out.

But I'm wondering if there is another one that people use. Also is there anyway I can use PC software to delete the previous owners dives off of the computer? Or will I just have to wait until they get overwritten?

Have you looked into Subsurface Dive Log? It's free and runs on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

I have a Cressi Giotto and old dives cannot be deleted, however Subsurface can be told to ignore those dives.

I have not looked into it, I will check that out, thanks!

Purbeast, it seems that the PDF manual does not mention the software as you said.

They only seem to list DM5 on the support page for your computer:

Suunto Vyper Novo Support

I found this page, it may be interesting for you although it is for the older Vyper:

Seconded on Subsurface - I used it with my Giotto and now with my SW Perdix. Better than the software that Cressi provided and gives you so much more functionality (as well as the ability to still use the same software even after changing computer).
