DivePlot
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Choose your location. Find your buddy. Log your dive. DuikRadar is a free app for divers. Find a dive site, find a buddy by certification, place and date, and keep your logbook, with the depth profile from your dive computer. DIVE SITES • More than 4,800 dive sites in more than 100 countries, including more than 500 wrecks. From the Oosterschelde to the Red Sea. • Search by name, by town or around your current location, in a list or on the map. • Each site shows its depth, type of dive, access, parking, the logged dives you may see and the dive centres nearby. • Filter by distance, wreck, cave, mine, tech, DPV, shore or boat, maximum depth, experience and facilities. In the Benelux you also see the driving distance. • More than 19,000 dive centres, shops and clubs, with contact details and services. • Missing a site, or is something wrong? Propose a dive site or report an error. IMPORT YOUR DIVES • From your dive computer's export file: UDDF (most dive computers, Scubapro through Subsurface), Garmin FIT, Shearwater Cloud (including "Export account" in the app on your phone) and Shearwater XML, Suunto FIT, SML or JSON. Also inside a zip file. • Share the file with "Open in DuikRadar" or pick it in the app, several at once if you like. • First you see a summary: how many dives, which are already in your logbook and which dive site each dive is linked to. Nothing is saved until you tap Import. • DuikRadar links your dives to a dive site in the catalogue by GPS position or by name. If the site is not in it, you get a private dive site that only you see. You can change every link. YOUR LOGBOOK • Depth, time, gases, temperature and the full depth profile come from your file. • The profile chart shows depth, water temperature, gas switches, fast ascents and, when your dive computer records it, the deco ceiling. Slide across the chart to read any moment. • Or log by hand, with gases, visibility, current, configuration and notes, and up to 10 photos per dive. • Share a dive card through Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp or the share sheet. FIND A BUDDY • Search buddy calls by place, date and certification, from any agency. • Post your own call for one dive site or an area, on a fixed day or a range of dates, with depth, gas, certification, group size and DPV. • The organizer accepts or declines each request. Then you plan the dive in the group chat, with text and photos. • Follow other divers, see their dives in your feed, like them and comment. • Notifications for new chat messages, followers, likes and comments, without the text of the message. CERTIFICATIONS • Choose your agency (PADI, SSI, CMAS, NELOS, GUE, TDI / SDI, IANTD, RAID or another), your training and your card, and add a photo of the card. • Card not in the list? Tap "My card isn't listed" and type its name. • DuikRadar checks every certification before it shows as verified. The photo of your card stays private. • Keep your dive insurance too. You get a reminder before a certification or insurance expires. YOU CHOOSE WHO SEES YOUR DIVES • Your profile is private or public. With a private profile you approve each follower. • Who sees your dives is set to Private, Followers or Public. Until you change it, your dives are private. • Your GPS position, depth profile and dive-computer details always stay visible to you only. • You can block divers and report messages, comments, dives and profiles. • Your data is stored in the EU (Ireland). You download your data or delete your account yourself in the app. GOOD TO KNOW • DuikRadar is free and works in Dutch and English. • You must be 16 or older to create an account. Without an account you can see where the dive sites are. • DuikRadar does not replace training, dive planning or a briefing. Check each other's certification and experience before you get in the water together.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DuikRadar at none against DivePlot's 2. DivePlot's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
