How to import dives from a Reefnet dive computer
No Reefnet 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.
Reefnet 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.
Reefnet downloads, drivers and manuals
The company's website is still up and every file still downloads, but the Sensus line is frozen in time. The newest software build is 2.61 and the newest driver dates from 2010-2011, so treat it as alive-but-dormant rather than actively maintained.

Worth knowing
- Nothing on the site has moved in over a decade: Sensus Manager sits at 2.61, the Windows driver ships only XP and Vista/7 packages, and the Mac driver is a 2011 kernel extension.
- Practical consequence: on a current Mac neither the driver nor the app will run. On Windows you may get the PL-2303 driver going, but you are on your own past Windows 7.
- Because ReefNet published its wire protocol openly, Subsurface and libdivecomputer read Sensus, Sensus Pro and Sensus Ultra natively. That is the path to recommend.
- These are depth and time recorders rather than full dive computers, so expect profiles and temperature, not gas or deco data.
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.
