Dive Log is designed to work either as your primary SCUBA diving logbook application or in conjunction with compatible 3rd party desktop logbook applications. You can use Dive Log at the dive site or on the dive boat to capture the information about the site while it is fresh in your mind (or your dive guide's mind). You can even capture the GPS coordinates of the dive site using the built in location services of your iOS device. Details about your actual dive can be added immediately after your dive or at the après dive event and later be saved to your desktop computer. The dive buddy feature is fully integrated with Contacts on your iPhone or iPad, letting you capture information about your newest dive buddy or quickly add an existing buddy to a particular dive. The dive data and statistics features let you have an immediate answer the next time your dive guide asks how much weight you used on your last dive or have all the information you need about your dive history when you fill out that next dive waiver. Metric and Imperial values are supported for all appropriate logbook fields. You can easily enter values using the appropriate units for the situation and view them in your preferred measurement system. You can even explore detailed dive profiles from popular dive computers that you download with your desktop software and later upload to Dive Log on iPhone/iPad. Dive profile data can also be transferred directly from certain dive computers directly via Bluetooth or using a supported Bluetooth accessory and an associated in-app purchase.
On Windows, Diving Log 6.0 (www.divinglog.de) is fully integrated with Dive Log on iPhone/iPad and has built in synchronization. Diving Log 6.0 has extensive support for importing data from dive computers and other dive log applications.
On Mac OS X, logbook information can be imported to Dive Log on iPhone/iPad from a number of compatible applications using the free Dive Log Manager application available from More Mobile Software (www.moremobilesoftware.com/divelog-sync). DiveLogDT (available on the Mac App Store) can be used to directly import a number of dive computers and file formats and can synchronize with Dive Log on iOS.
Dive data can be directly downloaded on a Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth 4.0/5.0) compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from Bluetooth LE capable dive computers such as the Suunto EON Steel, Suunto EON Core, Suunto D5, Scubapro Galileo 2 (G2), Aladin Sport (Matrix), Aladin H (Matrix), G2 HUD, Aladin A1, Shearwater Teric, Peregrine, Petrel 2, Petrel 3, Perdix, Perdix AI, Perdix 2, NERD 2, Oceanic VTX, Pro Plus 4, Geo 4.0, VEO 4.0, Aeris A300CS, Aqualung i300C, i330R, i550C, i750TC, i770R, Apeks DSX, Sherwood Wisdom 4, Mares Genius and certain heinrichs weikamp OSTC computers as well as the DiveNav Inc. bluebuddy and Tech Buddy dive logger accessories. Supported Bluetooth LE accessories are available separately.
Mares Bluelink Pro is a Bluetooth LE accessory by Mares and available for purchase separately (www.mares.com). The Bluelink Pro allows you transfer dive data from certain Mares dive computers (Puck Pro, Smart, Smart Air, Quad and Quad Air) directly to Dive Log on your Bluetooth LE compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Dive Computer Buddy (aka DCbuddy) is a Bluetooth LE accessory by DiveNav Inc. (note that the DCbuddy itself is no longer available). The DCbuddy allows you transfer dive data from certain dive computers (including models from Suunto, Oceanic, Aqualung, Aeris, Sherwood, Tusa and Mares) directly to Dive Log on your Bluetooth LE compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
This app has a range of features that make it a truly compelling alternative to a paper logbook. It allows for an incredibly comprehensive range of dive-related information to be recorded, from details of dive locations to equipment (history of use, warranty and more), weather, buddies and notes. There’s even a place for sign-off by an instructor. If you have a dive computer, linking device and compatible smartphone, your dive profile data can be automatically downloaded and imported. Everything can be backed up to protect your previous history of diving. The developer really seems to have thought of everything and has furthermore been super responsive and helpful with any support queries I have lodged.
Finally!!!

Finally, a dive app that actually works.Loaded and installed easily. Little bit pricey, and it didn’t mention that you also had to purchase your individual dive computer download, but I’m prepared to forgive that due to the ease of use.Graphics are well laid out. Especially like how map coordinates can be manually input using a map and cursor.
Flexible but empty

Pricy when you have to buy an addition to allow it to use your computer, but I can live with that as it is a full featured app and a one-off purchase. Where it comes down is complexity and lack of prefilled information. You have to manually add every marine species, piece of equipment, body of water, country, island and dive site. Marking a dive site is difficult as it doesn’t correctly copy Google Maps Plus codes and doesn’t allow you to search easily by map within the app. I would expect all countries, bodies of water etc to be preloaded as well as popular dive sites. It becomes tedious whenever you’re logging a dive to create a new country, a new body of water, a new entry for every new animal.Dropbox syncing is kind of clunky too. Have used for 2-3 years and been moderately satisfied but recently used some others and they highlight where this falls short and I’ve started looking for alternatives.
Great app with great support

Excellent compréhensive divelog that Links to loads of computers easily. Bluetooth sync is great. Every time I have had an issue support has been great and there is an active user forum. Wish all apps were like this!

• Dive lists can now be sorted by dive number in ascending or descending order. Choose the order from the … menu on the dive list or in the in-app Settings.
• The Locations map can now be filtered by Trip. Turn on Dive Route to see the order in which the trip's dive sites were dived.
• The Profile view now lets you step directly to the next or previous dive, which makes it easy to compare dive profiles.
• Added support for importing MacDive XML files.
• Updated for iOS 27.
• Improved overall stability and fixed several issues.
