Why not just buy a small USB one from Amazon or Ebay? They are really quit cheap. It is a universal device that does not need to come from Uwatec. My Lenova laptop has IR built in that communicates with Uwatec's no problem.

Here's the one that I use. I purchased it from Amazon: Amazon.com: Cables Unlimited USB1510 USB Acc, USB To Irda Adapter: Electronics
Here's the irda search in Amazon: Amazon.com: irda usb adapter

Must make sure to check the specs that a Mac is listed. Along with if you use Windows 7 that the device is compatible.

The cheapo one I bought for $7 a few years ago happens to share the exact same guts as the official ScubaPro one. But JTrak is so far behind the times I still just fire up Parallels w/ windows 7 instead. If you are running a Windows VM you don't need to worry about Mac compatibility at all, the VM completely takes over that piece of hardware and you can use any cheapo adapter you can find.
If you pay more than $10, you're not shopping smart!!!
Now, I'm not a Uwatec engineer or anything, but I am a computer engineer and own four uwatecs that communicate via iRda.
You don't need anything special -- just make sure that your iRda device is listed as compatible with your computer -- If you use an X64 operating system, it's got to have an x64 iRda. If you operate a Mac, like Peter_C says, it has to list a Mac.
It's about the drivers, mostly, but also most new devices are built to USB2.0 standards and communicate better with the x64 systems when they are so advertised.
Look, I love Uwatecs, but think they are so wrong to charge a fortune for a rebranded generic device.
