Unable to pair Scubapro Aladin Sport to MacBook via Bluetooth

[J-Cat]

Am I the only person who can’t pair my new Scubapro Aladin Sport Matrix to a MacBook Air via Bluetooth?
I’m running all the latest software and can pair with my iPhone and iPad using the LogTRAK app and can even pair and download dive data to a PC (not mine), so I know there’s nothing wrong with the dive computer. An iStore person told me that not even an Apple Watch can pair to a Mac computer which sounds unbelievable!
I’ve even tried a USB Bluetooth dongle, but the MacBook doesn’t detect that either.
How can Scubapro develop a dive computer with all the software for Mac if Mac’s won’t allow pairing with a third-party device via Bluetooth?
Just interested to know if anybody else has had the same problem?

Looks like the ScubaPro LogTRAK software is not capable of using the builtin Bluetooth hardware/software on a Mac, you need to buy an external USB Bluetooth dongle to get it to work. Here's the info from ScubaPro:

This is also mentioned in the "Read first" file in the LogTRAK software download.
