I finally got a chance to look into the strange import problems I have been having by installing Oceanic's absolutely horrible software on a Windows computer. It turns out it isn't MacDive's fault at all, for whatever reason the values in the DiveMask are corrupt.

(I have certainly not been doing any diving in -15°C recently!)

I tried correcting the offending values in the raw data. However, the calculated min, max and average values displayed for each dive do not change, which (I assume) messes up the general statistics. Is it possible to get these to recalculate, or should I just edit these manually as well?

Also, a related question, is it possible to recalculate the dive numbers automatically when dives have been deleted?

Unfortunately there isn't a way to recalculate them right now. It's something that is on my todo list for the future (not specifically recalculating just these numbers, but something that will take care of it..)

As for renumbering dives, it's explained in the help, here -

Ah, of course, I thought I had looked through all the settings and options carefully enough, it didn't occur to me that it could be computer-specific. Sorry about that, I should have searched.

Will my statistics be correct if I just set the calculated values for each dive to something reasonable and ignore the garbage values in the raw data?

Yup, they should be. The raw values aren't used in statistics - just the min/max etc.

Excellent, thanks!
