Is there a way for a bulk export of all dive information on the Suunto Dive Manager? It seems like I can only export 1 dive at a time. Also I want to be able to save out all my settings etc, so if I ever wipe my PC and reinstall it I don't have to put all my personal stuff in again.
 
Might not be exactly what you meant, but with SDM 2.x, according to Suunto tech support, you can perform a full backup of the database and setup by copying the d9.mdb from the program directory, by default C:\Program Files\Suunto\Suunto Dive Manager. To restore to a new installation, overwrite the mdb file.

You may want to copy the dm.ini file as well. OTOH it may not be entirely compatible between different versions of SDM, so use suitable care. Tech support didn't say anything on that front.

Backing up the database from the "Actions" menu is the way to go. You can then restore all the info from the backed up file anytime you want by selecting "restore" database from the same menu.

If you just want to export a block of dives all you have to do is shift+click the dives you want to export then select export from the "File" menu and you're done!
