Shearwater is usually good about answering emails. I'm at a loss as to why it won't download, sorry.
 
Can anyone tell me what is going on here? Would still very much like to get an example Shearwater *.db file to get the dive log all working before I dive with the new computer. Anyone?

Another option is to not stress over it, dive the computer and go from there. The most important part of getting a new computer is learning how it works ON A DIVE. Focus on that. Getting your settings the way you want them and learning how it will work throughout a dive. Once you have a few logged dives on the computer you’ll have plenty of time to learn how Shearwater Cloud works with those. Just my 2 cents. YMMV.
 
The cloud logging software is very buggy. I have dives listed from 1970 & some depths recorded are way off.

So for those who are not computer nerds, 1970 is the beginning of the UNIX epoch upon from which most date/times are computed. (0 is 1/1/1970 00:00 GMT) That means the value for your date/time is near zero -- likely either: (1) the date time was lost when batteries were changed (or the time was never set) or only the time was set and so the log is relative to day zero (1/1/1970)
 
I finally got a dive in with the Peregrine TX (PTX). It was in my pool but it did record as dive #1. When I downloaded and synced, only this dive was downloaded even though the "factory dive" was still in the PTX dive log. I guess the moral of the story is the "factory dive" isn't a dive that ever downloads. I have deleted it from the PTX
