Release Notes
Everything new in Dive Exporter, version by version.
- #
A short surface interval after 1.3. Here’s what’s new in 1.3.1:
- Symbios downloads, steadier still. The intermittent timeouts on the Halcyon Symbios are fixed, and the app now works with the newer firmware (V2.36.11), which had changed how the device answers at the start of a download. Downloads are quicker too.
- Two more verified computers. The Shearwater Perdix 3 and Peregrine (including the Peregrine TX) now carry the verified badge in the supported devices list, after testing on real hardware.
- A tidier Settings tab. Settings now opens as a short list of sections, all individual settings have been reclassified.
Small round, easy update. See you in the water. 🤿

Back on the surface with our biggest device round yet. Here’s what’s new in 1.3:
- Perdix 3, now aboard. The Shearwater Perdix 3 joins the supported devices for the first time. You can scan for it, connect, and download every dive from first to last. Huge thanks to everyone who tested it on real hardware.
- Steadier Symbios downloads. The Halcyon Symbios now downloads with far fewer of those intermittent timeouts, and the progress counter finally counts straight.
- Shearwater downloads that go the distance. Fixed the “Invalid packet header” error that could cut a download short on Shearwater computers across the board (Perdix, Petrel, and others), so your logs come ashore in one piece.
- More on the profile chart. Your dive profile now plots heart rate as its own series when your computer recorded it, and marks every gas switch with a labeled line (e.g.
NX 32) at the moment your breathing mix changes. - GPS, sample by sample. For GPS-capable computers like the Halcyon Symbios, you can now see the fix recorded with each individual sample, not just one spot for the whole dive. And your UDDF export now writes the dive’s location as a proper dive site, so your logbook app can drop it on the map. Dives at the same spot share one site.
- A little buzz. Your phone now gives a short haptic tap when a download finishes or fails, and the start buzz waits until dive data actually begins transferring rather than the instant you connect.
- Bluetooth, only when you need it. The app no longer asks for Bluetooth at launch. Open it just to browse or re-export your dives and you’ll never see the permission prompt; it waits until you actually scan or connect.
- Sharper UDDF exports. CNS is now written as a fraction (e.g.
0.43) to match the UDDF 3.2.3 spec, so it reads correctly in your logbook app.
Two devices worth exercising this round: the Halcyon Symbios and the newly added Perdix 3. Run a download, send feedback, and if you know anyone with a Perdix 3, point them our way. See you in the water. 🤿

Back up for air with another round of improvements. Here’s what’s new in 1.2:
- Notes, in your own words. Every dive now has a Notes section in the dive detail. Tap to jot down what made the dive memorable, and your words ride along in the UDDF export, then back again on re-import.
- Depth at a glance. Dive rows now show max depth on the right, in both the Dives list and the download list. Older dives are backfilled automatically, so the number is there even for logs you pulled down before today.
- A newer spec under the hood. UDDF exports now conform to the 3.2.3 specification, with heart rate written in beats per minute. If your logbook app imports our files, it should feel right at home.
- A tidier dive detail. Dive Mode now lives in the Summary section, right after Timezone, and “Deco Model” is now labeled “Decompression.”
Four upgrades, one easy update. See you in the water. 🤿

Back from the depths with our first update since launch. Here’s what’s new:
- Average depth, surfaced. Your dive profile now plots average depth as a dashed line right on the chart, with an “Avg Depth (at exit)” row in the dive summary. We use your computer’s own number when it reports one, and crunch it from the samples when it doesn’t.
- Timestamps, true to the water. Dives now keep the time zone your computer recorded, so every timestamp shows in the zone you actually dove in, with the GMT offset tagged on (e.g.
10:30:00 +0200) when it differs from where you are now. The same offset rides along in your UDDF export. - A tidier download deck. Freshly downloaded dives now land at the top of the list instead of the bottom, with a cleaner plain-list look that matches the rest of the app.
- Devices in order. Your device list is now sorted alphabetically by name, so your gear is easier to find.
- Release notes in reach. A new Release Notes link in About brings you straight here.
Small update, big quality-of-life. Keep the feedback coming. 🤿

After plenty of time in the shallows, Dive Exporter surfaces with its very first public release. Here’s everything you can do from day one:
- Talk to your dive computer. Scan, add, and connect over Bluetooth, then peek under the hood at its firmware and device details. No cables, no fuss.
- Verified on the gear that matters. Fully tested across four device families (Shearwater, Halcyon, Mares, and Seac), with tentative support for 100+ BLE dive computers, so chances are yours is already on board.
- Bring your dives ashore. Download your logs straight from the device and explore the full details of every dive.
- An interactive profile chart worth surfacing for. Plot depth over time and toggle the data your computer recorded: water temperature, PPO₂, CNS oxygen toxicity, NDL, and decompression stops. Drag across the timeline to inspect any single moment.
- Rebreather-ready. Full support for individual per-sample PPO₂ readings when your unit reports them (looking at you, Halcyon Symbios), and shared readings when it doesn’t, like a Shearwater Petrel paired with a JJ-CCR.
- Every tank accounted for. Individual tank pod pressure readings, so no air supply gets left behind.
- Keep your log shipshape. Browse the full dive list, filter by device, and delete the dives you’d rather forget.
- Export without the lock-in. One tap turns any dive into a standard UDDF file, ready for the logbook of your choice.
- Make it yours. A settings panel to fine-tune appearance, units, and download behavior to taste.
No pressure, but we think it’s worth getting your feet wet. 🤿
