Dive Log software

[Chris_Hall]

Hi all,

I'm Canvassing info and opinion again, this time its software. I'm kinda wedded to technology, laptop palm etc and so would like to start logging my dives electronically (all being well I will finally be back in the water on friday). Any suggestions or preferences on software ?

Once again thanks in advance for your wise and insightful counsel

Suunto dive manager is useful if you have a Suunto computer to download the profiles.

Yep, thats what I use. I had some problems installing and configuring the software and the bloke on the other end of phone at Sunnto was very helpful :)

Every time I hit print, it was printing all of my dives. It was 89 dives at the time and I did it twice :o. At least I had a lot of scrap paer after that :D

I just use eXcel and log date, depth, time, location etc
One worksheet per year with a summary sheet at the front.
Cheap & infinitely customisable, plus you can do lots of graphy bits!
Keeps me amused for hours when the weather's too rough to get wet.

Thanks for your comments, I don't have a sunnto comp yet so that isn't an option. I like the excel idea though, that could provide hours of fun and can be shared with my palm :)

Thanks

Have a look at - http://www.divinglog.de/english/home/index.php

IMHO great software with outstanding support - what's more it uses a standard Access database....
