DCbuddy is a Bluetooth LE accessory that you can purchase from DiveNav Inc. It supports a large number of models from a number of manufacturers. DiveNav is working to expand the number of dive computers supported by the DCbuddy and we are constantly working to incorporate additional models into Dive Log’s DCbuddy support. Please check the Store in Dive Log for the current list of supported dive computers. If you have a computer model that is not listed in Dive Log’s list, please contact us and we can tell you the status of support for your computer (many computers that are not listed as officially support may still work).
When you purchase a DCbuddy, you also select the correct cable that will attach between the DCbuddy and your dive computer (additional cables are available). Dive Log instructs the DCbuddy to download your dive computer via it’s normal serial interface, and then the DCbuddy transmits that information to Dive Log via Bluetooth Low Energy.
Once downloaded, the dives from your dive computer can be added to your logbook, or, you can merge the dive computer information into entries for dives for which you have already started to entered information.

Dive Log will first download the list of available dives on your Petrel 2. You will then be able to select which dives you want to add to your logbook, Dive Log will then download all the information about that dive. You do not need to download your entire unit each time.
Once downloaded, the dives from your dive computer can be added to your logbook, or, you can merge the dive computer information into entries for dives for which you have already started to entered information.
