Suunto DM-2 to MacDive - MacDive Forums

#1 Any thoughts on which app - shearwater cloud or MacDive would work better for me? I bought a peregrine today, We are an apple family with MacBook air's, iPhones and for work a MacBook pro. I have an iPhone SE (2020) which has a small screen that I love. DiveLog+ did not work well on the small screen, I believe there are save buttons in DiveLog+ which I could not get to because there was no scroll and my screen was too small. Does anyone have any experience with either shearwater cloud or MacDive on a small screen iPhone? Can I simply use my iPhone as a conduit to my MacBook Air? I plan on putting the app on a MacBook Air as well as my phone. The MacBook Air runs MacOS Ventura and has Bluetooth 4.2? Would a recently manufactured peregrine connect better with a Mac? I am not going to try and migrate any dives from DiveLog+ ( I probably can't get to the export button if it has one). #2 I have and use both. I personally prefer MacDive. MacDive imho, unfortunately needs 2 purchases to be fully utilized. The MacOS license and the iOS/iPadOS one. Use the mobile one to import and run the GPS tracker for auto dive site tagging. Then use the MacOS one for any heavy editing, typing etc. My workload is put phone on airplane mode, start MacDive tracker, take dive notes in default iOS notes app, go diving for the day (assuming multi tank boat here), finish diving, stop tracker, upload from dive computer to MacDive on iPhone, tag location, sync MacDive, drive home, then edit on my macbook. If you have a camera, make sure that the camera time and the dive computer time are synched up, then if you import photos into MacDive you can see where those were on the dive (it also updates the animal information about where you have seen them).Alternatively you can use subsurface which is free, available across all platforms, maintained by a wide range of very knowledgable and dedicated volunteers (instead of the single developer of MacDive), and has more support for advanced technical diving. The downside is the user interface. Think about stepping on a lego with bare feet, it's about as enjoyable lol.Regardless of MacDive, Subsurface, Shearwater, etc i have always had FAR better luck using a mobile device's bluetooth than any laptop or desktop's bluetooth connection (Linux, Mac, Windows laptops/desktops it doesn't seem to matter). So regardless of the software you end up using, I would highly recommend the mobile upload, sync, then edit on larger platform. #3 I have both and use MacDive. Much better and has ALL my old dives from Dive 1 on older computers or on paper. 1 dive log to keep forever. #4 Another vote for MacDive. I can't speak to how it works on smaller screens or how it compares to Shearwater Cloud but MacDive has been great for me. If you get Both licenses (phone and computer), syncing works great. I import dives from my Perdix to my phone (and tag GPS sites) and then do all the fun stuff on my computer. #5 MacDive hands down. It is way better. I use it on both the iPhone and my MacBook Air. AZstinger11 covered everything. I will add one note in that the developer doesn't seem to work on it anymore. I have emailed him and got no response. Also, I haven't seen an update in a long while. #6 Sounds like everyone likes MacDive. Thanks! #7 Check this out... Dive Log Dive Log is designed to work either as your primary SCUBA diving logbook application or in conjunction with compatible 3rd party desktop logbook applications. You can use Dive Log at the dive site or on the dive boat to capture the information about the site while it is fresh in your mind (or... apps.apple.com #8 I primarily use MacDive which is fantastic, but I also make a point to sync my computer to the Shearwater app as well because it's better at logging my AI gas consumption when diving sidemount with 2 transmitters #9 I primarily use MacDive which is fantastic, but I also make a point to sync my computer to the Shearwater app as well because it's better at logging my AI gas consumption when diving sidemount with 2 transmitters Ditto. Also if you connect a Shearwater device to a mobile shearwater cloud app, it updates the dive computer clock. Very handy when traveling. #10 MacDive hands down. It is way better. I use it on both the iPhone and my MacBook Air. AZstinger11 covered everything. I will add one note in that the developer doesn't seem to work on it anymore. I have emailed him and got no response. Also, I haven't seen an update in a long while. I hope he has just gotten busy. While I have not had direct communication with him since 2019, Nick Shore was super responsive when Shearwater changed the data format and he sent me a beta version to validate some of his code changes.He did answer a support forum question on July 4, 2023 and was on the support forum on July 10, 2023...so he is still around. Maybe working on the 3.0 version?? I use both the desktop and the iOS versions. I will, on occasion, upload to the Shearwater Cloud when I want to see all the computer information (individual CCR cell voltages during the dive, etc), but MacDive is my true logbook where all of my dives are recorded.

MacDive Help - Copying Your MacDive Data To Another Mac

Marcusdoshi Posts: 5 Joined: Mon Aug 07, 2023 6:59 am Dive Computer: Perdix Best Practices for Multiple Divers My kids have started diving and I'd like them to log their dives in MacDive. For the time being, it would need to be on my laptop. I know that the desktop app gives the option to have multiple divers, but I want to start doing this in a way that will allow them to migrate their logs to their own machines when they get a bit older. So, to me, that means creating standalone databases for each person. Is that possible on a single machine? What are folks doing with similar situations? TIA![Also, has anyone heard from Nick? I emailed a bit ago and haven't heard anything which is atypical.] Shadallark Posts: 50 Joined: Thu May 27, 2010 4:38 pm Dive Computer: Mares Wrist Puck Location: New Brunswick, Canada Re: Best Practices for Multiple Divers Post by Shadallark » Mon Sep 11, 2023 9:40 pm Good day to you marcusdoshi!Our kids have been diving for a few years now. We all track our dives in the same version of MacDive as different divers. My intention when they want to start having their own dive logs and do not just want to keep syncing them through DropBox is to have them sync over our full dive history for all the divers, then switch to syncing with their own system (their own iCloud or DropBox) and remove the dives and divers they do.

Depending on your device and the type of cable you use, this driver will vary. Please see the supported devices page on the MacDive website for a current list of supported devices and which drivers to use.If your cable is not listed (ie it is from another vendor or is a DIY cable) then you will need to find out what chipset the cable or adapter uses and find the appropriate USB driver. Generally starting at the manufacturers website is a good idea.Make sure the device is in transfer modeSome models automatically go into Data Transfer mode when they are connected to an appropriate cable. Some, such as the Suunto Mosquito, require you to manually start transfer mode. Please consult your owners manual to find out the correct procedure.Configure MacDiveMacDive attempts to guess where your dive computer is connected on the system. Sometimes other things can confuse it. Try going to Preferences -> Advanced, and clicking "Scan for serial port". If there are a few things in the list, you have to try and choose the correct one.Some common ones are: * /dev/tty.usbserial-ST000001 (Suunto, FTDI Driver) * /dev/tty.usbserial-20030001 (Oceanic, FTDI Driver) * /dev/tty.usbserial (Reefnet Sensus Ultra, their driver)If you find there are other things in the list (Nokia modems, iPhones, etc) please choose a different serial port and try again.

Am I thinking about this wrong? I was under the impression that SAC was measured in PSI per minute and RMV was in cf3 / minute. What am I missing?Thanks nick Site Admin Posts: 4375 Joined: Sat Apr 12, 2008 8:33 am Dive Computer: Shearwater Teric Contact: Re: SAC vs RMV Post by nick » Sun Apr 26, 2015 4:47 am Yes, this is probably more correct. It's always been called SAC even though it does factor in the tank size. I just left it this way thinking it was a more common term, and it seemed to be what people used more frequently.

Them, but Dive Converter will show them as they have been stored in Oceanic+ cloud- added filtering of activities (dives, snorkeling, freediving) via search field: - filter by category: All, Dives, Snorkeling, Free Diving - filter by date: all, last week, last month, last three months, last year - filter by rating: 4+ star rating, 3+ star rating, 2+ star rating, 1+ star rating - filter by type: cave, drift, fresh water, ice, night, wall, wreck - filter by search text: search of text in dive's name, dive's notes, dive's legacy buddies (not displayed in Oceanic+ anymore), dive's date Ratings and Reviews Great initiative, but... Really apretiate this app, it's making me access the Oceanic data in easy way and enabling me to process data systematicaly and re-integrate into other tools.But... the Backup and Restore working only one way (=> Backup). If the Restore will work - i will give 5 starts and advise on other forums for the Dive Converter. Anyway - apretiate your efforts! Terrific app; a must have to use with Oceanic+ I am now using the new beta version because Oceanic changed the API. All of the information that is important to me can be quickly converted directly to MacDive. This includes profile, time and notes. The Oceanic app is still flaky on cylinder pressure and the visibility, surface condition and current sliders don’t seem to convert. However, I have found those sliders to be tricky and the value sometimes changes when I return to a

MacDive Help - Do I need MacDive for macOS to use it on iOS?

Dive Converter allows users to retrieve their Oceanic+ dives and export selected dives in Universal Dive Data Format (UDDF). The app works on iOS (iPhone and iPad) and on macOS. We have taken special care of making sure that all information of your dive that is also supported by UDDF is translated correctly. The generated UDDF files have been tested with multiple dive log programs on iOS and macOS.Features:- support for downloading dives, referenced equipment, user profile, buddy information from Oceanic+- reverse geocoding of longitude/latitude to also get an address (at least country and region) where your dive took place- calculation of surface time (not contained in Oceanic+ data)- export all information according to latest UDDF standard- backup and restore of all dives in JSON and UDDF format- import of 3rd party UDDF files- filtering of dives by category, time frame, rating, type, and textPlease note: You have to have an Oceanic+ account with email/password. What’s New - corrected UDDF generation of address field to use postcode instead of wrong zip- corrected UDDF generation to include ID of buehlmann element- added all non-standard UDDF data to application data field of each dive to be able to store all Oceanic+ dive data also in UDDF (lossless backup/restore)- added full support for freedives- implemented backup and restore in UDDF format in addition to JSON format- implemented import functionality for dives exported from 3rd party apps to UDDF (tested with MacDive and SubSurface) - if dives are too old, Oceanic+ will not show.

Appropriate one. Of course, these are not always obvious - they won't say "MyDiveComputer", but there are some things that will obviously not be correct. If you get this error message, the most common cause is that you don't have a good connection to your device. For some, it can be tricky to get the cable on correctly. Jiggle it around and try importing a couple of times, it is frequently the case that the cable is just not quite connected right. In some cases, it is very easy to plug the cable in upside down.USB HubsUSB Hubs can sometimes interfere with a connection. If you are having problems, make sure your device is plugged directly in to your computer, not through a USB hub.JiggleCertain devices can be tricky to get connected properly. They may show that they are in transfer mode, but may still not have a good connection. The OC1 is a common example of this. Sometimes you need to try importing a few times and giving the cable a bit of a jiggle around to get things to happen correctly. Don't give up immediately - as silly as it sounds, this is a very common issue.Low BatteryMake sure your battery is not low. Some devices will not allow you to download data if they have low battery. Note: some devices will go into PC transfer mode with low battery, but still not let you download. If you have low battery, replace it and attempt to download again. Sometimes downloads will intermittently work with low battery, but you will run in to issues so it is best to get the battery changed.If all else fails...99% of problems are resolved by other things mentioned on this page. In almost all of the support email received about download issues, something on this page resolves it. So if you are sure you have tried everything and you still have no luck, the next thing to do is test your device with the official manufacturer software.This is the best way to rule out that there is no fault with the cable or device. If you can't download with the official software, then chances are it won't work in MacDive either.Before contacting support, please verify that you can do so.Device Specific NotesIf you have any tips for your particular device, please email support so they can be added here.Atomic Aquatics CobaltWhen you go
