Edit, never mind, I read the title.

You can download the software here:

And it looks like you need the optional pc interface kit to actually download stuff. Back to the dive shop for you! Or check ebay.

You need to buy the USB adapter. It looks like a large clothes pin that clips on to the top of the computer, coming into contact with the two contacts above the screen. Off the top of my head, expect to spend around $125-$150. It seems like a lot, but if you dive often, it's very much worth it.

The software is downloadable off of the Apeks site for free. the new version they have now has a cool planning function where you can plan a dive, with it showing everything including tank pressures. Really cool.

The software is free but you need this cable to download the info from the computer.

Look at Dexter's site - http://daniel.vvtp.tudelft.nl/site/?page=projects-seiko there's schematic of the interface and if you don't want to play with it alone, you can order prebuilt version.

Thanks Zubi

Yes, you can download the schematic for a DIY version from my website (see above post). Since it can be tricky to build one yourself, I also offer prebuilt interfaces (USB in, 2 wires to your divecomputer out).

These interfaces are suitable for TUSA IQ700, Archimede I/II, Apeks Quantum and DiveRite Nitek Duo (which are basically the same divecomputer anyway).
