Your dive computer logs everything. Your SSI logbook knows nothing. DiveDrop fixes that with a single share. Export your logbook from Oceanic+ (Apple Watch), or share a Garmin/Suunto FIT or Shearwater/Subsurface UDDF file, and tap the link and choose Open with DiveDrop. The app reads your dives, checks which ones are already in MySSI and sends only the missing ones: date and time, duration, maximum and average depth, water temperature, gas, tank pressure, weight, rating, GPS and the full depth profile. Your data stays yours. DiveDrop has no server of its own: your SSI login goes straight to SSI and is stored only in your device's Keychain. See exactly what will be sent for every dive, and send them one at a time or all at once. The full compatibility list, per computer and showing what comes across, is at divedrop.app/compatibility. DiveDrop is not affiliated with SSI, Oceanic or Huish Outdoors.
