DESCRIPTION
Writing in a log book is time consuming and if you don't have good handwriting illegible. Log books are small and difficult to fill in the blanks. The Suunto PC Interface is for uploading logbook dives to a PC in order to optionally store and organize the data, computer statistics, simulate dives and personalize the logbook file. Rather than filling out the logbook, just print out your log sheets to prove your diving experience

  • Precise Information
  • Print Out Legible Dive Sheets
  • PC Based Program
  • Stores and Organizes Dive Data

If you like the idea of having a copy of your dive log on your PC to review & annotate, the Suunto Dive Manager & PC connection are great products. All in all, they worked as advertised & are great additions to your dive gear.

I did have a little trouble initially getting connected to my Suunto Cobra dive computer , but that was my fault because I didn't realize that the Cobra needed to be in "data" mode before it would react to the PC connection. I guess I was expecting a USB "plug and play" connection.

Anyway, once I had the Cobra in the right mode, the PC connection immediately recognized it & stepped me through the process of transferring the dive log to the PC. The connection wasn't particularly speedy, but unless you do hundreds of dives, you won't be doing it all that often anway.

After I had the log transferred, the Suunto Dive Manager UI was very friendly & efficient. I spent a few hours reviewing my dives, adding gear items, & annotating each dive with my own information. It can actually become somewhat addicting if you're a detail-oriented person like I am.

All in all, the Suunto Dive Manager & PC Connection worked as advertised & can be great additions to your dive gear if you're the type of person who likes having a copy of your dive log on your PC (mine is a Dell Dimension 8400 running Windows XP SP2).

I have a Cobra and a Mosquito (back-up); the connector fit to both is insecure and required a two hand hold to work until I rigged a base with some urethane rubber and a pair of rubber bands, something you shouldn't need to go around inventing.

The software is buggy and at best gives a hit and miss connection. In almost 60% of instances, it fails to recognize the dive-computer at first try; then, it appears to compete for the same USB port with my Palm organizer "Hotsync". Sometimes it forces me to reboot the host computer to get a viable connection. If you add USB peripherals that might sequester the defined port, you'll have to undergo an involved and undocummented procedure. The software documentation is next to nil.

On the other hand, the logbook is fairly decent with customizable fields, and it admits a number of different users with separate logbooks.

To finish, this should be a freebie included with the computers, it's too ill designed to be sold as an extra.

        Cable easily connected to my Cobra Dive Computer and downloaded into a secondary dive program I had to purchase. Description that this is a kit you purchase and showing a disc in the picture is deceptive, you only get a cable and have to buy secondary software to use it.

                Does what it is supposed to do. I haven't had any issues with it not being able to connect although I've only used it for 10 dives so far.
