Importing Data from Supported Data Files
Important Note
As most of these data files come from external sources (Suunto Dive Manager, Oceanlog etc) they are subject to change. If you have issues, please send a sample file to support@mac-dive.com along with a description of the problem.
Currently the Oceanic/Aeris importer is ropey. This is due to subtle differences between the output files that various versions of Oceanlog/Aeris create. Don't panic! Usually it's quick and easy to fix problems, provided you can send through the file that is causing your issue for me to look at.
File Formats
Oceanic/Aeris .TXT Files
These files can be exported from the Oceanic or Aeris windows applications, if you would like to transfer your existing data into MacDive. Export them as CSV files (comma separated). You can then simply drag and drop them onto MacDive, or choose File -> Download Dives -> File Formats -> Oceanic (.txt) from the menu.
Suunto Dive Manager (.SDE) Logbooks
You can export an .SDE file from suunto dive manager by choosing Tools -> Export. Again, simply drag and drop this file (or use the download menu) to add the dives to MacDive.
UDCF Files
Again - drag and drop a UDCF file onto macdive, or use the Import menu if you prefer.
