Anyone know if Deep Blue or the Cosmiq dive computer is still around? Seems like there website is down and social media has been non-existent for quite some time now.
What happened to Deep Blu Cosmiq?

Is the company still around? Are Cosmiq computers still being sold? Their main website is down so I suspect not.Looks like there were not enough users willing to pay.

They went out of business. My Cosmiq died a while ago, it took some persuasion to get mine replaced. My confidence is shaken - I’m saving up for a Tern TX.
For now, my DeepBlu is on backup status. Renting out a computer from my LDS.

And no support either. The app was key to its function, but if you have an Android phone(and developer mode is enabled or side loading apps is allowed) or a Linux install, Subsurface can interact with it. The Play Store won’t let newer Android devices download it though - hence why you need to grab the .apk and sideload it. The Windows and Mac versions don’t play nice with how DeepBlu implemented Bluetooth LE, I had the most success with a Galaxy S10e I had laying around.
In the past I used the Deepblu and Subsurface apps on iphone with mine and it synced the dives to both. With the Deepblu app down, it there anyway to change functions or is the only use to download to Subsurface?
I played around with the Deepblu app on my iphone. I was able to skip the login and access the settings. Assuming it will still sync with Subsurface, the Cosmiq would seemingly still be fully functional by using the Deepblu app only for settings by skipping the log in, and using Subsurface to sync your log. How long the Deepblu app remains on the app store or not removed by Apple is anybody's guess though.
