Totally appreciate this program.

Just bought a mac and couldn't find a dive program to use. Then I found Macdive. Awesome.

License bought and already using it a lot.

Couldnt download the backp files from the Suunto dive manager though, so only have the dives that were in the Helo2 ....

Did you get some kind of error I can look at?

For SDM, you need to go Tools -> Export and export your dives as a .SDE file, then import that to macdive (you can just drag and drop it onto macdive).

No Nick. I dont get an error. I have the .bak files on my external hard drive that I used with the old pc. I was just trying to import from there but it comes up as a grey shade.

This is the file: sdm_backup20100530.bak

I will try what you said. Thanks.

For what your saying Nick. Do I have to have the Suunto Dive Manager on a windows pc running. Unfortunately I only have the back up files as the pc died and i just purchased a mac.

I guess I could use someone elses pc if I have too. ???

Cool !!!

Had to borrow a mates Windows pc. Exported and imported now onto MacDive.

Thanks for the info.

Now I just have 330 dives to modify ...

You beat me to it - glad you got it sorted.

Thanks for the great program Nick. Like Shadallark i just bought a multi user license even though it's just for me to show a little extra thanks. Cheers.

Wow, thank you - it is very generous and much appreciated!

Hi Nick, I also bought the multiuser license to support your effort in making a nice diving log app for the mac...

I still don't use it as all may dives are stored in weird UDDF 1.0 from Aquadivelog (Palm), I will convert them to UDDF 3.0 when its out and wait for integration int macdive

Alright - when it's final/out, send me a sample file and we'll get it working ASAP.
