New Guide: Importing Dives from Suunto DM5

If you dive with a USB-connected Suunto computer — a D4, D6, D9, Zoop, Vyper, EON Steel, or any of the others that plug into Suunto DM5 — you don't have to re-type your dive log to get it into DiveHub.

We've published a new guide, Exporting Dives from Suunto DM5, that walks through exporting your dives from the DM5 desktop app as a DAN DL7 file, and then importing that file straight into DiveHub.

How it works

  1. Open Suunto DM5 and select the dive(s) you want to bring across.
  2. Choose File → Export and pick DAN DL7.
  3. In DiveHub, tap Add Dive → Import file and choose the file you just exported.
  4. DiveHub reads the depth, time, temperature, and profile data automatically — you just fill in the details it can't know, like the dive site.

This is on top of our existing support for importing DL7 and UDDF files from any other dive log software that exports them — see Importing Dives for the general walkthrough, and the DL7 and UDDF format pages for more background on each format.

Have a dive computer or dive log app you'd like a guide for? Let us know.
