Your dive computer, straight into your log

Scubaspot downloads from more than 100 dive computer models with Bluetooth, on iPhone and Android, by makers including Shearwater, Suunto, Mares, Scubapro, Aqualung, Cressi, Oceanic, Ratio, Heinrichs Weikamp and Divesoft.

Turn on your computer's Bluetooth and keep it close to the phone, and the app finds it. If your computer asks for a PIN or an access code, the app asks you for it.

A computer without Bluetooth? Export your dives from the app that came with it and import that file instead.

Download from a dive computer under More, Dive log; from the + button, where your own computer has a row that starts its download as soon as it is ready; or from the dive form, which offers it before you type in a dive by hand.

A computer you have downloaded from stays under Your computers, with whether it is in range and when you last downloaded it. When it is the only one ready, it is picked for you.

The next download brings only the dives since the last one. Want them all again? After a download with nothing new, Download every dive again does just that.

Manage lists your computers. Forget one you no longer have, and the dives it gave you stay in your log.

The dives come into the same review as an import from a file. Dives already in your log are marked and left out, and each dive names the computer it came from.

A dive computer does not know the names of dive sites, so the dives are grouped by day and you pick the site once for each day. A computer that records its position finds the site within 500 m by itself. Anything a Scubaspot dive does not keep from the recording is listed under the last dive, so you know before you import.

Every dive gets a depth graph with the water temperature. A dive from your computer draws the real samples, and the photos you took sit along the graph at the moment you took them.

The app says what stopped it and what to try: wake the computer, turn its Bluetooth on again, or open Settings. If it still will not download, send a problem report from the same screen. It holds your computer's model and firmware and what it said, and it arrives in your chat with the Scubaspot team.
