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 your dive guide's mind). You can even capture the GPS coordinates of the dive site using the built in location services of your iOS device. Details about your actual dive can be added immediately after your dive or at the après dive event and later be saved to your desktop computer. The dive buddy feature is fully integrated with Contacts on your iPhone or iPad, letting you capture information about your newest dive buddy or quickly add an existing buddy to a particular dive. The dive data and statistics features let you have an immediate answer the next time your dive guide asks how much weight you used on your last dive or have all the information you need about your dive history when you fill out that next dive waiver. Metric and Imperial values are supported for all appropriate logbook fields. You can easily enter values using the appropriate units for the situation and view them in your preferred measurement system. You can even explore detailed dive profiles from popular dive computers that you download with your desktop software and later upload to Dive Log on iPhone/iPad. Dive profile data can also be transferred directly from certain dive computers directly via Bluetooth or using a supported Bluetooth accessory and an associated in-app purchase. On Windows, Diving Log 6.0 (www.divinglog.de) is fully integrated with Dive Log on iPhone/iPad and has built in synchronization. Diving Log 6.0 has extensive support for importing data from dive computers and other dive log applications. On Mac OS X, logbook information can be imported to Dive Log on iPhone/iPad from a number of compatible applications using the free Dive Log Manager application available from More Mobile Software (www.moremobilesoftware.com/divelog-sync). DiveLogDT (available on the Mac App Store) can be used to directly import a number of dive computers and file formats and can synchronize with Dive Log on iOS. Dive data can be directly downloaded on a Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth 4.0/5.0) compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from Bluetooth LE capable dive computers such as the Suunto EON Steel, Suunto EON Core, Suunto D5, Scubapro Galileo 2 (G2), Aladin Sport (Matrix), Aladin H (Matrix), G2 HUD, Aladin A1, Shearwater Teric, Peregrine, Petrel 2, Petrel 3, Perdix, Perdix AI, Perdix 2, NERD 2, Oceanic VTX, Pro Plus 4, Geo 4.0, VEO 4.0, Aeris A300CS, Aqualung i300C, i330R, i550C, i750TC, i770R, Apeks DSX, Sherwood Wisdom 4, Mares Genius and certain heinrichs weikamp OSTC computers as well as the DiveNav Inc. bluebuddy and Tech Buddy dive logger accessories. Supported Bluetooth LE accessories are available separately. Mares Bluelink Pro is a Bluetooth LE accessory by Mares and available for purchase separately (www.mares.com). The Bluelink Pro allows you transfer dive data from certain Mares dive computers (Puck Pro, Smart, Smart Air, Quad and Quad Air) directly to Dive Log on your Bluetooth LE compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Dive Computer Buddy (aka DCbuddy) is a Bluetooth LE accessory by DiveNav Inc. (note that the DCbuddy itself is no longer available). The DCbuddy allows you transfer dive data from certain dive computers (including models from Suunto, Oceanic, Aqualung, Aeris, Sherwood, Tusa and Mares) directly to Dive Log on your Bluetooth LE compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

About

Zeeland Getijden

Features
Read full description

Zeeland Getijden is the dive assistant for the dive sites of Zeeland, the Netherlands, and the wrecks in the North Sea. See at a glance when the current is calm enough to dive, plan your dive days or months ahead, and handle everything at the water's edge, from buddy check to shore watch. DIVE WINDOWS FROM THE REAL CURRENT FORECAST A tide table gives high and low water. Zeeland Getijden takes the dive windows from the Rijkswaterstaat current forecast for each dive site, including the effect of wind and weather. You see when the current drops below 0.2 m/s, when it turns and when it picks up again. Dive windows after sunset are marked. METEO TIDE • Current speed and direction through the day after tomorrow, per dive site • Map with all dive sites, the NOB emergency plans, filling stations with their gases, and a route from where you are • Compass that points the current direction on site • Latest measurements nearby: current, water temperature, wave height, air temperature and wind • Up to three favourite sites, or the nearest site automatically 3D MAP See the bottom of the Oosterschelde in 3D, with depth contours and the Zeelandbrug. Draw your dive route with its length and depth, add stickers, photos and notes, and share your dive plan with your buddy as images or a PDF. ASTRO TIDE The astronomical tide of every tide station in the Netherlands, for every day until the end of next year. With high and low water, flood and ebb, sunrise and sunset, twilight, moon phase and spring or neap tide. For sixteen Oosterschelde sites the app converts the tide of Stavenisse with a correction table. NORTH SEA WRECK DIVING Current, wave height and tide at the wrecks off the Dutch coast, with dive windows around slack water at sea. On the wreck map you slide through the day with a time bar and see the route from your boat to the wreck and your home harbour, with distance, course and your boat's speed. CLIPBOARD • Your certifications and nitrox certification, with a photo of your card • Diving medical, emergency contact and fit to dive • Steel, aluminium and carbon cylinders, cylinder inspection and regulator and equipment service, with a warning when something is due • Weighting: per configuration your lead, water, suit, undersuit, BCD or wing and cylinder, exportable as CSV • A dive QR code with your details and cylinder pressure, for your buddy or the shore watch SHORE WATCH A complete dive list: scan the divers' QR codes, drag them into groups and record time in and out, air in and out and maximum depth. After the dive, share a PDF report with your club logo by mail, WhatsApp or AirDrop. CHECKLISTS Own-gear check, buddy check, the NOB site check (Check de Stek) and a 3-step plan for your tidal dive, with the correction table relative to Stavenisse. Plus the NOB instruction videos (in Dutch). AT THE WATER'S EDGE AND AT SEA The app keeps your favourite sites and wrecks stored two days ahead by itself, and one tap saves the currents, the tide and the 3D map, so you do not depend on mobile coverage. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account and no server: everything you enter stays on your own device. Free, in English and Dutch. Note: the data comes from Rijkswaterstaat but may be inaccurate or incomplete. Always check the conditions at the water's edge. The app does not replace dive training or safe-diving judgement, and the maps are not meant for navigation.
