By the way, you can also sync your Perdix directly to MacDive on the iPhone if you like.

OP
As Hazmat mentions above, you can definitely do that. From iPhone you can then syc with dropbox. When you get home or to your main computer, your macdive will get updated when turned on.
IMO MacDive is a fabulous program with superior developer who is uber friendly.

sorry just to clarify
Im usng the shearwater desktop app but I download all the dives on my laptop but I want to sync with may the devices, I cant seem to find a way to do this - Im currently having to download on each device to keep them current-any suggestions I thought there may be a dive log file somewhere on the hard drive but it seems the shearwater desktop app is locked

DropBox will sync them.

Does anyone know if the MacDive software will work on a iPad and laptop by downloading the multiuser license? Or is that a separate charge for iPhone/iPad usage?

I believe they are separate apps. I believe the MacDive app for the iOS platform is about $10.00. It can be run on any iOS device tied to the Apple account up to I think 5 devices.

well lve done some fiddling and wrote to shearwater heres their response
"Thank you for purchasing a Perdix. We hope you enjoy diving with it. Unfortunately at this point it is not possible to sync and share with various devices. Perhaps in the future we will have this capability. Right now you will just have to download the log onto both your laptop and desktop."
however I've found a way to make it work although its not as smooth as id like
a)after entering details on the shearwater desktop app on a device (say laptop) go to FILE and 'back up database" save to dropbox
b) when opening the shearwater desktop app on another device go to FILE and 'restore database" go to dropbox folder and select the saved database both devices will now have current data
