How to import dives from a DiveSystem dive computer
No DiveSystem model in the catalog has a radio, so every transfer goes through a cable and a file. Pick your exact model below for the steps that apply to it.
DiveSystem models that need a cable
An iPhone cannot open a serial or USB connection to a dive computer. These go through a Mac or PC once, then into SeaLog as a UDDF file.
DiveSystem downloads, drivers and manuals
Alive, but the dive-computer half of the brand now lives at sister company Ratio Computers, whose support site still hosts current Windows and macOS DiveLogger builds for both DiveSystem- and Ratio-branded units.

Worth knowing
- DiveSystem's own shop sells suits, regulators and BCDs; its computer line (Orca, iDive, iX3M) is engineered and supported jointly with Ratio Computers, and every piece of software sits on ratio-computers.com.
- Two software generations that are not interchangeable: DiveSystem-badged iDive units need DiveLogger 2 (hosted on divesystem.it), while iDive/iX3M units on OS 4.x need DiveLogger 4 (hosted on ratio-computers.com). The wrong one simply never sees the computer.
- macOS builds exist for both generations, but they are not drag-and-drop: you have to run a bundled fixSeriale.sh.command from Terminal and enter your account password, and the app must live in /Applications or Gatekeeper blocks it.
- The old divesystem.it microsite still serves files and manuals even though its homepage returns 403. Useful to know before assuming the link is dead.
- iX3M GPS models also speak Bluetooth, so Subsurface and MacDive can pull dives wirelessly without the cable at all.
One logbook for all of it
SeaLog keeps every dive in one place whichever computer it came from, with the depth profile intact, and exports back out to UDDF whenever you want it.
