Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New Features
- New Dive Computers Supported: Mares Sirius L, Heinrichs Weikamp OSTC 5, OSTC Nano, and OSTC cR, Seac Tablet (BLE), Halcyon Symbios HUD, Halcyon Symbios Handset, and Cressi Goa, Cartesio, Leonardo 2.0, and Donatello.
- GPS Location — More Dive Computers: BlueDive can now automatically capture entry and exit GPS coordinates when syncing from a wider range of computers over Bluetooth, including Heinrichs Weikamp OSTC, Divesoft Freedom, DiveSystem iDive, and Halcyon Symbios in addition to Shearwater. Both coordinates are saved to your logbook and shown on the dive map. Re-downloading with "Download All Dives" will also update GPS coordinates if they were missing or incorrect.
- Fingerprint Screen: A new Sync Fingerprints screen is accessible from Settings, featuring a card-based layout, collapsible device rows, an inline hex display, and success/error feedback when overriding a fingerprint.
- Copy Fingerprint: A copy-to-clipboard button now appears next to the Fingerprint heading in a dive's Samples tab.
Improvements
- Gas Identification & Display: Gas types (Air, Nitrox, Trimix, Hypoxic) now display consistently in all views and are properly translated throughout the app. Nitrox shows the oxygen percentage formatted to your locale.
- PDF Export — Gas Change Markers: Gas switch events now appear on the profile chart in exported PDFs as a purple dot with a "G1", "G2", … label, matching the in-app chart.
- PDF Export — GPS Entry & Exit: The Site Details section now shows both entry and exit GPS coordinates. The GPS field has been renamed GPS Entry.
- PDF Export — Multiple Tanks: Dives with more than one tank now list all tanks on compact rows showing type, gas mix, volume, and start/end pressures. Single-tank dives keep the original layout.
- PDF Export — Gas Mix Labels: Gas is displayed consistently as Air, Nitrox X%, or Trimix X/Y across all layouts.
- Statistics — Favourite Sites: Tapping a site now shows a full dive list with dive number, flag, duration, surface interval, location, and max depth.
- My Trips: The dive list inside a trip now uses full dive row cards instead of minimal date/depth rows.
- Map: Duration now displays in short format (e.g. 0h 46m) in dive callouts and site lists.
- Bluetooth Sync — Info Button: A new ⓘ button in the Bluetooth sync screen explains each sync option, including how "Download All Dives" and clock sync work, what gets refreshed, and what personal entries are preserved.
- Bluetooth Sync — Download All Dives: Matched dives are now merged rather than skipped — the computer refreshes its recorded data while your notes, buddy, rating, and other personal entries are kept. This option is no longer available for unrecognised dive computers; sync the device once first. Starting a scan now automatically resets this option to off to prevent accidental full re-downloads.
- Widget Reliability: Widget data is refreshed asynchronously on launch to prevent stale reads.
Bug Fixes
- GPS Copy: Enabling "Include GPS Coordinates (Entry & Exit)" now correctly copies both coordinates. Previously only entry was copied.
- Halcyon Symbios CCR: The O2 supply tank is now correctly identified by gas composition, fixing wrong labels after import.
- Fixed a crash when a profile sample reported a gas index of −1.
- MacDive Import: Batch imports now correctly save all dives and check for dive-count milestones.
- Fixed a bug where clearing the sync bookmark for one computer could have affected other computers of the same model.
- Dive condition labels (weather, surface, current) now correctly follow the app language setting.
- GPS pin icon no longer appears for dives with placeholder (0, 0) coordinates.
- PDF Export: Deco stop depths use your preferred unit; dates follow your language setting.
