Once the download has finished, the list of dives found on the dive computer will be shown in the top window. In that window, select one, many, or all of the dives you want to now import into your logbook. Enter a new starting dive number to add them to the end of your logbook, or, enter an existing dive number to merge your dive computer information into a dive you have already entered. You may also click on any dive in the bottom window to set the starting dive number for import.

You do not need to always download all the dives contained on your dive computer. You can select to download only dives done after a particular date and time if you want to. This will reduce the time it takes to download your dive computer. Dive Log Manager/Dive Log DT will look at your logbook and find your last dive that has a computer profile associated with it, and take the date/time of that dive as the starting point for downloading. This is only the default value - you can over ride it before clicking the download button if you want to. Also, if you have not downloaded any dives yet and click a starting dive for import in the bottom window, it will choose the date/time of the previous dive as the default download starting dive.

Sometimes your dive computer registers 2 dives (or more) when you spend "too much" time on the surface in the middle of it. You probably want these 2 dives to be really 1 dive for logbook purposes. There are two ways to handle this with Dive Log Manager:

1) Import both of the dives into your logbook so that you have eg: Dive# 100 and Dive# 101. Go to the Dives panel and then the Detail tab and into Editing Mode. Change the dive number for Dive#101 to 100. So now you have 2 dive number 100's. This way, all the information from your dive computer is preserved.

2) Import both of the dives into your logbook so that you have eg: Dive# 100 and Dive# 101. Go to the Dives panel and select Dive# 100 so that it is showing. Now bring up the menu (Right click or Control click) on the dive in the lower window and select the menu item "Merge Following". After answering all the popup's, the dive computer information from Dive# 100 will be merged into the dive computer information from Dive# 101 and the original Dive# 100 will be deleted. This is how you can merge two dive computer profiles together into one.

• Atomic - Cobalt, Cobalt2

  
  

  Your Atomic Aquatics Cobalt(2) came with a USB/Charger Adapter and a USB cable. Plug the USB side of the Adapter into the terminal socket on the back of the Cobalt, plug the mini end of the USB cable into the Adapter, and then plug the other end into a USB port on your Mac. Navigate the Cobalt's main menu into Settings and then to System Information. Select USB and then press the Select button again to enable USB Communication. Once your Cobalt has been enabled for USB, the "Download" button will become enabled. Click it and Dive Log Manager will start downloading dives stored on the Cobalt. Once finished, the list of dives stored on the dive computer will show in the upper window. This list of dives will remain until another download is started so you may import dives in multiple stages if you wish. They will not remain after quitting Dive Log Manager.

• Heinrichs Weikamp - OSTC2, OSTC3, OSTC Sport

  
  

  The OSTC2 and OSTC3 will download via the included USB cable. Once you plug the cable in, the "Download" button will enable. The OSTC Sport will download via Bluetooth instead. You must "pair" your OSTC Sport with your Mac first before trying to download it. To pair it, start the "System Preferences" application and click on the "Bluetooth" button (or "Open Bluetooth Preferences" by clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the top toolbar). Now start Bluetooth on the Sport and follow the given instructions.

• Liquivision - Lynx, Kaon, Xen, Xeo

  
  

  Download of Liquivision dive computers is available for MacOS 10.9 and greater only. If you have the Liquivision "PC Interface" accessory, you can download your Lynx, Kaon, Xen, or Xeo dive computer. When you plug the unit into your Mac, the Download button will enable. Then, put your dive computer into PC download mode, place it near to the PC interface unit in the indicated orientation, and then click the Download button. All of the dives on your dive computer will be downloaded and you can select/choose which ones to import into your logbook.

• Mares - Puck, Puck Air, Nemo Air, Nemo Wide, Puck Pro, Puck 2, IconHD, IconHD Net Ready

  
  

  The download cable for your dive computer is sold separately. Mares sells a generic USB cable and then puts an "end" specific to your dive computer with it. Once the two are put together and then plugged into your Mac, the Download button will enable. Attach the "end" to your dive computer and then put it into "Download Mode" before clicking the Download button. There is no need to install any additional drivers.

• Pelagic:Aeris - Atmos 2, Atmos AI, Elite, XR-2, Epic, Elite T3, Manta, Compumask, F10, Atmos AI 2, A300 AI, A300, F11, A300 CS
• Pelagic:Genesis - ReactPro, ReactPro White
• Pelagic:Oceanic - Versa Pro, Pro Plus 2, VT Pro, Veo 200, Veo 250, Veo 180, Atom 1.0, VT3, Atom 2.0, Geo, Datamask, OC1, Veo 1.0, Veo 2.0, Veo 3.0, Pro Plus 2.1, Geo 2.0, VT4, Atom 3.0, OCS, VT 4.1, Atom 3.1, Pro Plus 3, OCi, VTX
• Pelagic:Sherwood - Wisdom, Insight, Wisdom 2, Insight 2, Wisdom 3, Amphos
• Pelagic:Tusa - Zen Air
  
  

  Aeris, Genesis, Oceanic, Sherwood, and Tusa all sell their download cables separately from the dive computer. It has a USB port on one end, and a connector specific to your dive computer on the other. You will need to find the correct cable for your dive computer. There is no need to install any additional drivers.

  The connection between the cable and the dive computer is the "weakest link" for these computers. It's very easy to not have a proper connection, meaning that data does not transfer and the download fails. If you are having trouble downloading your dive computer, this is the first place you should check.

  If you have a 3rd party cable to download your Pelagic computer, you must also have a kernel device driver from them for that cable, which provides a serial port for applications to use it. To configure Dive Log Manager/Dive Log DT to use a serial port to download instead of using the Pelagic cable, press and hold the Command/Apple key while clicking the Download button (which will be renamed to Configure). Dive Log Manager/Dive Log DT will scan for possible USB serial ports and give you a list which you can select from. If the correct one is not there, you can type in the name of the one you want to use.

• Shearwater - Petrel, Petrel2, Predator

  
  

  The Shearwater line of dive computers use Bluetooth technology to download logbook information so no cables are needed. Your Mac computer must have the builtin Bluetooth support - most, but not all Macs do. Your Shearwater dive computer will need to be put into "Download mode" first before clicking the download button.

  The first time you connect with your Shearwater dive computer, it may take some extra time to make the initial connection while the two devices "pair". Once your Mac and the Shearwater have paired, all future connections will happen much faster. If you are already using the Shearwater Desktop software, the two devices may already be paired. Disconnecting from the dive computer, manually or after downloading, takes about 10 seconds to complete.

  If using a Petrel, firmware version V12 or higher is required. Petrel dive computers support "selective downloading" which means that initially, just the basic dive date, time, and depth information of all existing dives is downloaded at first. Then, simply select which dives you wish to fully download in the top window, and then click the "Import" button. Once you've clicked Import, then all of the profile information from only those dives is downloaded from the Petrel and imported into the logbook. This method makes the download process much faster as you don't have spend time to re-download dives already in your logbook.

• Suunto - Cobra, Cobra2, Cobra3, D3, D4, D4i, D6, D6i, D9, D9tx, DX, Gekko, HelO2, Mosquito, Vyper, Vyper2, VyperAir, Vytec, Zoop

  
  

  Suunto sells their download cable separately from the dive computer. It has a USB port on one end, and a connector specific to your dive computer on the other. You will need to find the correct cable for your dive computer. There is no need to install any additional drivers.

  NOTE: If you have a D4i, D6i, or D9tx, you must also have the "newest" version of the cable as the older version of the cable (compatible with D3, D6, D9) will not work. The "newest" version has been painted red on the inside of the connector that attaches to the dive computer.

  If you have a 3rd party cable to download your Suunto computer, you must also have a kernel device driver from them for that cable, which provides a serial port for applications to use it. To configure Dive Log Manager/Dive Log DT to use a serial port to download instead of using the Suunto cable, press and hold the Command/Apple key while clicking the Download button (which will be renamed to Configure). Dive Log Manager/Dive Log DT will scan for possible USB serial ports and give you a list which you can select from. If the correct one is not there, you can type in the name of the one you want to use.

• UWatec - Galileo Sol, Galileo Luna, Galileo Terra, Aladin 2G, Aladin One, Aladin Prime, Aladin Tec, Aladin Tec 2G, SmartCom, SmartPro, Smart Z, Smart Tec
  REQUIRES: ScubaPro USB IrDA Adaptor shown here. (The ScubaPro USB IrDA dongle is REQUIRED to be able to download these computers. There is no need to install any drivers)

  Once you insert the ScubaPro/UWatec USB IrDA adaptor into a USB port on your Mac, the "Download" button will become enabled. Turn on your dive computer and place it's IrDA port about 3 to 6 inches or 7 to 15 centimeters away from the IrDA port on the adaptor. Make sure that the dive computer is supported in such a way that it won't move (very much) while downloading. Then click the "Download" button to start the transfer process. Dive Log Manager will show a progress bar while the dive computer is being downloaded. Do not move the dive computer until the download has finished. This list of dives will remain in the top window until another download is started. This means you can import dives into your logbook in multiple stages if you wish. They will not remain after quitting Dive Log Manager.

  Some of the UWatec dive computers, such as the Galileo series, have large amounts of memory in them in order to store large amounts of dive information. It make take Dive Log Manager up to 10 minutes to download all of the memory, so you may need to be patient.

  Some of the UWatec dive computers, such as the Smart series, can sometimes get "lost" in the middle of a transfer and become unresponsive. If you do not see the progress bar making any progress for 20 to 30 seconds, the dive computer may be stuck. If this happens, you can click the cancel button and then click the download button again to re-start the transfer. Optionally, you can restart the dive computer as well, but this is not always necessary.

  Other USB IrDA Adaptors may work with Dive Log Manager if they use the same chipset(s) as the official ScubaPro/UWatec one, but we are unable to support all makes and models of adaptors. If you already own one, you can try it out. If you are thinking of buying a different, less expensive adaptor, try to find out the chipset it contains first, and contact us with that information.
