Right now I'm using DM4 for uploading dives from my D4i. Not really impressed with it. In my opinion, it's kind of counter-intuitive.

Wondering if there is a better one out there that I can transfer my dives from DM4 into as well as inputting other dives I did before getting a Suunto.

I was looking at Diving Log 5.0... the price seems to be ok and it has way more features than DM4 by the look of it.

Wondering if there's any other good ones out there...
 
I find Diving Log does everything I need, but I'm your stereotypical vacation diver. I especially like its wireless link to my phone app, so I can bore people with my dive site pictures and profiles wherever I go! :crafty:

I like to think I dive frequently. I guess it's all relative to where you are and the people you're surrounded by though. I try to get 1-2 dives a week in. Some people I dive with go at least once a day, more on off days.

Either way... going by the screenshots, that one looks like it does everything I'd like.

Take a look at Subsurface: a very nice open-source dive log.

At quick glance, it says it imports for DM3... doesn't mention DM4.

[h=5]Reading Suunto DM4 backup in Subsurface[/h]Importing the logs from DM4 does not require any special steps. You just
do the following:



  • Open the following menu File → Import File(s)
  • Browse your directories to the location where your DM4 backup is
    stored

  • Select the backup file you want to import and click Open

It is also possible to do the importing from command line:

subsurface MyDives.xml --import DM4.bak
