Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Dive Exporter and how it works.
General
What is Dive Exporter?
Dive Exporter is an iOS app that connects to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) dive computers, downloads your dive logs, and exports them in UDDF format. It's designed for divers who want a simple, wireless way to get data off their dive computer and into their preferred dive log software.
What is UDDF?
UDDF (Universal Dive Data Format) is an open standard for storing dive data. It's supported by popular dive log applications like Subsurface, making it easy to import your dive data into the software you already use.
Compatibility
Does Dive Exporter work with all dive computers?
Dive Exporter works exclusively with dive computers that support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Devices that require a serial cable, USB, or infrared connection are not supported.
Which BLE dive computers are compatible?
Dive Exporter is compatible with over 100 BLE-enabled dive computers from major manufacturers including Shearwater, Halcyon, Mares, Seac, Suunto, and others.
Since each device may have slightly different protocol behaviors, we individually test and verify compatibility. Verified devices are marked in-app. Currently verified:
- Shearwater (Perdix, Perdix AI, Petrel)
- Halcyon Symbios (Symbios Handset)
Features & Usage
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Dive Exporter connects directly to your dive computer over Bluetooth. No internet connection is required to download or export your dives. All data stays on your device.
What is Smart Sync?
Smart Sync remembers which dives you've already downloaded. When you connect to your dive computer, it only downloads new dives — saving time and avoiding duplicates.
Is my dive data private?
Yes. All dive data is stored locally on your iPhone. Dive Exporter does not upload your data to any server. You control when and how your data is exported and shared.
