Dive Exporter

Read full description

Dive Exporter lets you download dives from your Bluetooth (BLE) dive computer, view detailed dive profiles with charts, and export them in the standard UDDF format — without committing to a full logbook app. If you've ever wanted to: • Pull dives off your computer without installing the vendor's app • Move data between logging tools • Keep your own portable UDDF archive • Manage and download dives from multiple devices …this is built for exactly that. KEY FEATURES • Connect over Bluetooth (BLE) — Shearwater, Halcyon, Mares, Seac, and many other supported brands • Visualize your dives with a detailed profile chart, including depth, temperature, NDL, PO2, CNS, and decompression info • Full download, plus Smart download for incremental syncs — only new dives are pulled • Export to UDDF, the open dive data standard — single dive or bulk • Manage multiple devices with custom names • Metric or imperial units, with per-unit overrides • Bulk delete when you want to clean things up WHAT THIS APP IS NOT Dive Exporter is not a dive logbook. It does not try to replace Subsurface, MacDive, or whatever logging tool you already use. It does not store buddies, dive sites, ratings, or photos. Its job is narrower and more reliable: get dives off your computer and into a portable format you can take anywhere. WHY DIVE EXPORTER EXISTS Most dive logging apps bundle export with a full logbook experience, and most vendor apps lock you into a single ecosystem. Some vendors don't offer any way to export your dives in a standard format. Dive Exporter fills that gap — a clean bridge between your dive computer and whatever workflow you actually want to use.
