I have a Cressi Giotto and the computer interface sold by Cressi. I understand that I cannot import directly to Divelog using this interface with a Mac. But I have successfully imported data into the Cressi software. I'd like to bring this data into Divelog.
As far as I can tell, the Cressi software can only export to a txt file. However it is not a file that Divelog can parse. Any suggestions? Should I send you one of the txt files?
Thanks

You are wrong. Downloading dives from the Cressi Giotto is supported!

JEFF: I hope you are right and I am wrong. According to the FAQ, "Subsurface on the Mac does not currently support IRDA based dive computers" and as far as I know the Cressi interface is IRDA. Am I wrong? Have you been able to make it work on a Mac?

You are wrong. Not all communication using infrared light is IrDA! The only dive

computers using IrDA are the Uwatec Galileo/Smart range.
The Cressi Giotto has a simple usb-serial interface, which should work just fine
on Mac. After the usb-serial chip, the data may be transmitted as infrared
light, but that doesn't matter.

The universe works in weird ways. I tried again this morning and it worked. Not sure why, as I didn't do anything different. The Cressi interface is a little wonky for sure and maybe it's a one time out of ten situation. Anyway thanks for the help. I'm glad to know how wrong I was!
One note for anyone with the same issues: be sure to plug the Cressi USB interface into the computer BEFORE you boot up. Otherwise the program doesn't see it.
