I bought an Oceanic Pro Plus 2 about two weeks ago. I used it during the past four days, making 13 dives in the Key Largo area. Most of the dives were in 40 feet of water or less, on reefs. I also made two dives on the Spiegal Grove, in the 95 to 100 foot range.
The computer functioned flawlessly. I really like it.
The Oceanlog software, though... It's OK, but....
1. I'm not fond of the "connection" between the USB cable and the Pro Plus 2. It's a little touchy.
2. The "adding a dive" function in the software isn't very intuitive... although I figured how to download dives (by trial and error) I had to break out the on-line help manual and read through it to understand what was going on.
3. The software won't let me change the "life time dive number". I don't like that.
4. For some reason, my first four dives show up in the Pro Plus 2 as I scroll thru the screens, but they are not available to download... and I can't figure out why....
5. The Oceanlog software is very powerful - it keeps track of a TON of data. But, I don't understand why all of the data information can't be on the same screen. Why do I have to flip through three or four tabs for each dive to enter information. Put it all in one place. Also, when I manually entered dives (that the computer couldn't or wouldn't download), I couldn't put them in the correct order. The computer would put them in order by date, but not by time. It's not a big deal, but it's very frustrating.
I give the computer an A+ grade.
I give the software a C grade.:shakehead
