USB connection
By Dr. C.Verified Purchaser from Orlando, FL on 5/14/2008
Pros:
It works
Cons:
Poor Construction
Best Uses:
Recreation
Describe Yourself:
Advanced Diver
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

On the positive side this USB connector allows you to download dive data from your dive computer to your PC or laptop. The negative is that the connector is awkward to connect to the dive computer. Since the connector at the dive computer end is proprietary, you have no choice but to pay a boat load of money if you want to download your dive data to your PC or laptop. The data is very helpful in analyzing your dives. Oceanic's software is good but not great. I have found better online.

A great price for a product that makes your Oceanic computer all the more functional. Came in handy also since I can't seem to find my log book anymore!

 
It's a shame there's no competition

Lightweight
Cons:
Can be inserted wrong, Inadequate plug retention, Poor Construction
Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The only reason I bought this cable, is there is not a competitive product available. The cable and plug are poorly designed, and if you don't hold your tongue right, it disconnects. Good thing you don't have to use it very often.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was prompt and the order was correct. As usual, it was a pleasure to deal with you. Thanks

Bottom Line:

This is the only connection available for downloading dive information from the OceanPro dive computer series that it is marketing for and a PC or laptop. The software is awesome for recordkeeping, analysis and comparing dives. This USB connection is difficult to figure out and use as there are no instructions as to how it connects to the dive computer. I did it by trial and error as there are three possibilities to get the connection end to contact the three prongs. The right way to to have the label up while looking at the top of the dive computer. It does not stay connected, so best to hold it with one hand and type with the other.

The software took two tries, but ultimately got all 22 dives that I had done with this computer this Summer into the laptop.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delvery from LeisurePro was as promised and it arrived packed well and in brand new condition.

 
Dive profile at a glance
By JadediverVerified Purchaser from Frazier Park, CA on 11/26/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Functional, Improves Diving Experience
Cons:
Dive computer cable slip
Best Uses:
Cold Water, Extreme Depths, Professional, Recreation, Warm Water
Describe Yourself:
Advanced Diver
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The only problem I had in the beginning was that I did not straighten out the cable sufficiently and it would occasionally pop out of the dive computer slot while syncing. It is a great tool for training new divers to review their dive profiles and for experienced divers to visualize what some of their dives actually look like. Be more aware, increase safety in vertical changes during the dive, not just the end of a dive.

 
It's as easy as that

Easy To Use, Functional, Improves Diving Experience
Describe Yourself:
Recreational Diver
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I admit to being a bit of a tech hound, but even with a minimal setup like I have for diving, a computer is only half useful if you can't get the data out of it for not only your dive log, but for your own education and enjoyment.This cable worked perfectly. There is online software support (I got the latest version)The price is steep [...] but typical.A real must-have.

Love the computer but the connection to the cord is so bad you have to hold it in place. Also get the one that has the cd ,if you are not good at downloading drives.

The PC Cable doesn't stay connected to the Dive Computer very well; it is a balancing act to keep your PC and DC connected during the download. Also I'm not impressed with the Oceanic dive log software but I have nothing to compare it against. It does provide interesting / valuable information though.

Overall you really don't have a choice of another cable. If you have the Oceanic Dive computer the cable will do its job, I just feel that the could have done a better job designing it.

 
The DC without the cable is nothing!!
By ozkVerified Purchaser from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on 10/24/2007
Pros:
Improves Diving Experience, Lightweight
Cons:
Poor Construction, Poor Software
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Unfortunately the software is not the big deal, but the cable is the only way to download data from you DC to your PC. It’s good for getting rid of that paper logbook and analyzing your improvements in diving.

Pros:
Functional
Cons:
Clumsy, Expensive
Best Uses:
After the dive, Recreation
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought the related computer first (bought a demo model without the cable) because it had big characters in the display and that's good for someone who uses reading glasses. I got the cable to be able to do the download thing. The computer and cable together fit together clumsily and loosely -- even precariously. Once hooked up, though, it downloads just fine. But it's way too expensive for a simple USB cable.

 
Overrated
By KAVerified Purchaser from Canton, Ohio on 10/10/2007
Cons:
Poor Construction, Very difficult to use.
Describe Yourself:
Recreational Diver
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have spent alot of time trying to use this product. The connection to the computer is very difficult to maintain with holding the connector in place. If your computer uses Vista forget it. I have contacted the manufacturer about my problems and have been unable to make this operational and gave up. The concept of downloading dives from my Oceanic computer is a great idea but this PC cable takes way too much time and effort. It is too bad because the computer is outstanding.

Oceanic Pro Plus 2 Cable
By Dr. CVerified Purchaser from Orlando, FL on 9/27/2007
Pros:
Transfers data
Cons:
Connection is ackward, Very expensive
Describe Yourself:
Advanced Diver
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I would recommend this if you want to be able to transfer data from you dive computer to your home computer. The data that is transfered is very helpful. This is a proprietary cable so you are stuck with buying it if you want to make the data transfer. [$]The connection between the cable and the dive computer is weak. This was poorly designed. The process for synchronizing should also be simplified.

cable works great. instructions for how to connect the cable to the dive computer were very poor. Have someone at a dive shop show you how the cable connection works.

 
Works, but...
By Seahound1Verified Purchaser from Morgan Hill, Ca on 9/25/2007
Pros:
Functional
Cons:
Must be held in place
Describe Yourself:
Divemaster

Follow the instructions carefully. I found I had to hand hold the cable where it connects to my Datamax Pro Plus II. If I did not hold it, the cable would disconnect. The Oceanlog software is not the most user friendly either, kind of clumsy.

Pros:

Best Uses:

The cable to operate computer soft ware is an obvious must have. It has functioned well. When I initially started using it I found it a little confusing to begin correct down load sequence. Better operating instructions would be a plus.

 
My Opinion of the Oceanic PC Cable
By daPidVerified Purchaser from San Diego on 9/20/2007
Cons:
Poor Construction

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not reliable when connecting to the VEO180Nx Computer. Several attempts are common, and if more than a single dive is logged, the download will frequently fail.

I love the fact that all I have to do now is plug in my computer to my laptop and whamo, I have a full up to date dive log.

The only draw back was getting the computer to sync properly the first time. Once that was done, it's a breeze now.

Good cable great price
By rsigmundVerified Purchaser from Saint Louis, MO on 9/5/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Functional, Improves Diving Experience
Best Uses:
Cold Water, Extreme Depths, Professional, Recreation, Warm Water
Describe Yourself:
Advanced Diver, Beginner, Divemaster, Recreational Diver
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I would recommend that anyone that has a dive computer capable of syncing with a computer get the software and hardware to do just that. this really helps with getting all of your dives properly logged and in your own time frame. THe only downside to this is that pretty much all of the software out there does not print out a page that looks like a PADI dive log. I hope that sometime in the future this wil be addressed and then the pages could just be printed out and put directly into the log.

Why bother buying a sophistocated dive computer that has the capability to do much more with the aid of a computer and not spend a few extra dollars for the cable that gives you that functionality ?! You can't have one without the other.

Cable does what it needs to if you connect it carefully and don't move the cable, at all! Cable does not stay in Data Plus well.
