AWU2UDDF vs ZDive

AWU2UDDF is used to export underwater depth and temperature data collected on your Apple Watch into a standard Universal Dive Data Format (UDDF) XML file. That file can then be imported into standard diving log software such as Macdive or Subsurface to complete your diving log. AWU2UDDF integrates with the Health App and the HealthKit framework to access the depth and temperature date stored by the phone.
