You can try following the troubleshooting instructions for MacDive2, but 1.5.3 isn't supported any longer. Make sure you have installed a USB driver.

See http://www.mac-dive.com/help/ under Importing. The VT3 should work fine, though there are a few bugs with Oceanic devices in that version (in terms of decoding the data).

The oceanic site only has drivers for WINDOWS

I have tried installing a different driver but with no luck. Any suggestions?

My website has links to the Mac driver. So does the troubleshooting page:
