Dive Computer

[jhford2]

Does anyone have a good computer diver log to recommend that uploads dives from different computer manufacturers? I would love help finding out how to have a primary computer that uses one program and having a back up...that might become my primary.....that uses another. Thanks!

I use Diving Log 6.0 on my PC and the companion app, Dive Log, on my iPhone. It's a great combo.

And it's FREE ! And has some serious star power benefactors to make sure it won't dissolve into oblivion.

But no support for Perdix/Perdix AI BTLE downloads (and no time frame for when it might be supported). Dive Log has had support since launch and AI start/end pressure support since early January - they are not free, but are not alot of money and are great apps and a better log choice for Perdix users at present.

MacDive if you run Macs. iPhone application, too.

I like Subsurface but for the life of me I cannot get it to recognize my Puck Pro on my Macbook. I can download the files using the Mares Diver's Diary software, and then import them into Subsurface, but not natively in Subsurface.

Subsurface is awesome and it runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. And supports MANY different dive computers.

My Subsurface log has dives downloaded from an Oceanic Atom, a Hollis TX-1, a Seabear H3, a Petrel 2 and someday it will have dives downloaded from my Perdix AI.

When I download the same dive from 2 different computers, Subsurface even automatically merges them together so it only shows as one dive in my log, but I can view the dive and toggle between which computer's data it is actually showing.

And Subsurface also has a built-in dive planner module, too, so you can enter dive parameters for a dive you are thinking about and it will show you if you are planning for a bottom time that is too long and will require deco stops, plus it will tell you how much gas is required to do the planned dive.

And, as has already been said, it is FREE. You can even download the source code and build or modify it yourself, if so inclined.

Hi Yukon,

Have you raised it with the subsurface guys on their forum? I have found them to be very responsive. I use a Puck Pro as well, but connect on Windows.

For it to work, you do need to make sure all computers are set to the same date and time...
