Dive Log Book, developed by DNA BLU, allows you to import and display dive profile data from SmartTRAK and DataTRAK files from your PC, transferring them to your iPhone. This application allows divers to transfer and carry dive data from all dives recorded using SCUBAPRO UWATEC dive computers (Aladin, Smart and Galileo series). It also lets you manually insert dives on your iPhone. A photo library is also accessible, including various fish, corals and nudibranch images, resulting in an ideal educational tool for all levels of divers. This application also makes specific dive weather conditions easily accessible, including temperatures, winds, wave heights & lengths for the entire globe. This data is courtesy of NOAA, usno.navy.mil and the “Lamma Consortium of the Regione Toscana”.

Turn your dive computer log into a beautiful photo overlay. DivePlot reads a dive straight from your dive computer over Bluetooth and turns it into a clean, professional overlay: your depth profile as a graph, live readouts like a dive computer, or both — on top of your own dive photo or as a transparent PNG for your video editor. How it works 1. Connect your dive computer and pick one of your latest dives. 2. Style your overlay: graph lines, colors, line thickness, text fields and a legend. 3. Export to your photo album or share it directly. Overlay studio • Depth, temperature, deco, pO₂ and tank pressure as graph lines — each with its own color and toggle • Dive computer mode: replay your dive with live depth, time, pO₂, temperature, CNS and tank pressure readouts • Scrub to any moment of the dive — the readouts follow • Add your own photo as background, with zoom, pan, dim and blur • Effects below the depth line: darken, grayscale or blur • Draggable text fields (depth, duration, date, time, your name) with size, color, alignment and outline • Legend, line thickness slider and multiple export formats: 16:9, 4:3, 9:16, 3:4, 1:1 and 4:5 • Save your favorite designs and reuse them on the next dive • No photo? Export a transparent PNG to use as an overlay in any video editor Supported dive computers DivePlot connects to the Halcyon Symbios (handset and HUD) over Bluetooth and downloads your most recent dives — including rebreather data such as cell pO₂ and tank pressure. Support for more brands is in the works. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your dives stay on your device. Free version adds a small "created with DivePlot app" watermark; a one-time purchase removes it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dive Log Book at none against DivePlot's 2. Dive Log Book also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). DivePlot's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
