Unfortunately Brad you’re not my favourite buddy as you’ve just been pipped at the post, I think we will have to get some more dives in to rectify this situation. It allows you to see who your “favourite” buddy is. This can either be by country, buddy, dive computer used, diver (as you can track different divers in the one program), or even user generated by keywords that you are interested. One of the nice features of having everything stored electronically is that you can get a summary of the information that you have collected. This means that I can easily track the different tanks that I have used in different parts of the world. I have my tanks set up as A40, A80, A100, 10L, 12L, and 15L. My computer also tracks the air I use to that is recorded on my log, all I have to do is enter the tank information, which you can easily set up. This makes for a quick logging of your dives. It takes some time but it is nice to have a back up your paper log.Ī lot of the dive information is automatically added to the log when you import from your computer. You can enter dives manually, and I did do this for about 80 dives as my dive computer no longer had a log of them. Here are some screen shots of the information entry pages. The software allows you to log every part of your dive.

MACDIVE SHARE DIVE FULL VERSION
I quickly purchased the full version once I saw how user friendly and useful MacDive was. However, none of the other features that come with it are limited. The software comes with a trial, it allows you to import your last 5 dives and that is all. So once I had installed the driver for my Suunto it was very easy to get it working with my Vyper.
MACDIVE SHARE DIVE DRIVERS
Luckily MacDive provides a lot of different drivers for different dive computers. Once you have downloaded the software and installed it, to make it work with your dive computer you have to download the correct driver. I tried using the dive logging software that Suunto provides but I just couldn’t get it to work on my mac, it would work on my PC but that’s old and I don’t use it that often. I just wish I had bought it sooner because the Vyper only holds information for about 50-60 dives and that meant I lost a lot of information about my previous dives, but don’t worry I have a written log book of the dives I have done. I decided in October 2013 to rectify this and I bought a cable for my Suunto Vyper. Files and folders can be shared with other MacDrive users or MacDrive groups. Unfortunately it didn’t come with a cable to connect it to the computer. Other cloud storage platforms such as Dropbox or Google Drive can also be. When I was given my dive computer, back in 2010, it had a data port. A screen grab of the dive profile in MacDive
