Latest beta works really well! Tank duration syncs.

I made some mistakes yesterday:

MacDive created a new tank because I (using Metric) don't care about Working Pressure and left it at the default 0 in MacDive and the default 205 bar in Dive Log. If WP's are the same (along with the other things), then the sync process matches tanks.

I also missed the gas mix field in Dive Log. So MacDive created a new mix with 0% oxygen. (No wonder I was out of breath! :shock: ). Filling in the mix in Dive Log will let MacDive match gases.

Cool. That's a good start, then!

Working Pressure is tricky. MacDive ignores this value in Metric, because it is not needed. But Dive Log will convert the imperial working pressure to a metric value, and then use it.

Actually, thinking about it, I should add an extra check in there so that if you are in Metric it just ignores that value when syncing, since it is likely to be empty or incorrect anyway.
