Not currently, sorry. From memory you can export data from the Sensus app, that could then be converted to a format MacDive recognises.

The Sensus Manager program exports data in a .csv format, how would I go about converting to a MacDive format? My D9 seems to have gone stupid on me, so need to grab off my backup Sensus Ultra

So, I figured out that if I set MacDive to download dives that haven't been imported, it will download the dives that I need. It will still only do it one dive at a time though, but given enough import cycles/errors, it will actually get what you need.

Also, figured out my D9 problem, I had it set for 1 second updates for a dive I did, that I wanted an accurate profile for, (Washing Machine in Bahamas) and it took up all my memory which is why it seemed to have lost dives on me.

Indeed, using a 1 second sample interval will severely limit the number of dives you can store!

It was a crazy dive, 40ft to 10ft in 10 seconds, back down to 30ft, then up to 10 again. It was an interesting dive, everyones computers alarming as we were being tossed around. I knew things would happen fast, and wanted a quick update on the dive profile. I didn't realize how quick the memory would fill up at 1S updates.

I'm just glad I had the Sensus as a backup, and that I managed to download the dives that were missing.
