Shearwater data portability

[Sol Chrom]

Comrades:

Bit of a Hail Mary here. 

Last December (yeah, I know) I did a CCR introductory session on a Dive-Rite ChO2ptima. (Didn't go that well, but you can't expect things to be perfect the first time.) Anyway, the unit was using a Petrel controller with a wired connector (Fisher? FIIK), so with all the new stuff to keep track of, I wanted to minimize distractions, so I left my own Perdix AI in my dive bag on the pool deck. 

If I'd had my wits about me, I would have downloaded the dive data to my iPhone using the iOS version of Subsurface and then synced it to my Mac. Of course I didn't think of it at the time. So, question: were I to contact the instructor, is there a way he would be able to download the data for that particular dive and send it to me in a file which I could import to Subsurface?

(As an aside, this story demonstrates Subsurface's advantages over Shearwater's native logging app. At least with Subsurface, I could record the dive manually. Shearwater Cloud doesn't let you do that.)

Long shot, I know.

Neither here nor there really - if this was somebody else's or a loaner unit then you'd probably spent a long time downloading ALL of the dives that the unit has had, just for your one dive...

But Shearwater does (or at least did) have a way to export the dive logs from their cloud app: https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/how-do-i-export-dives-from-shearwater-cloud.622806/

And Subsurface does have a way to import these files - they need a .DB, .BAK, or .SQL extension. But be aware that this functionality has not been maintained for some time, and the format that Shearwater uses may have changed in the meantime, so it might or might not work.

Il n'est actuellement pas possibled'ajouter manuellement des plongées directement dans l'application Shearwater Cloud(mobile ou bureau). L'application est conçue pour importer automatiquement les données depuis un ordinateur de plongée Shearwater via Bluetooth.

• Solution : Les plongées doivent être transférées depuis l'ordinateur de plongée.
• Limitation : La saisie manuelle de données de plongée (date, profondeur, temps) n'est pas prise en charge.
• Alternative : Pour modifier le numéro de la prochaine plongée, utilisez le menu des paramètres sur l'ordinateur de plongée.

Pour gérer vos plongées, vous pouvez utiliser la version bureau du Shearwater Cloud ou exporter des données au format .uddfvers d'autres carnets de plongée.
