Dive Shearwater

I switched over from another integrated computer system that provided SAC and RMV in your log but find the app impossible to navigate to see it. Also, as an Instructor I would like an easier way to put it in pool mode for teaching confined water. When I go for a real dive, cleaning up the junk dives takes quite a while. On my Garmin I can tell my computer to ignore those dives. Might have to stop teaching with the Perdix 2 because I went to clear the log, deleted the junk dives, and renumbered them appropriately. However, once I do that, it isn’t easy to discern why the next log number goes to whatever the count was going to be if the junk dives were included. It’s a step up from Cloud but the promises made at Dema this year haven’t been realized yet. I’d love for this to be my go to system but I need a clear log and would love SAC and RMV info

They just updated their app and it did two things for me. 1- the default sort view is now dive# and not GPS. You can filter GPS, but as most of my dives are without coordinates, defaulting to dive number is helpful. And 2- I can now manually enter GPS coordinates for dives that I know them for. I would still stick with the old Shearwater Cloud App unless you have the new Swift GPS for now, but they are making improvements. My primary log is still a third party app. Cloud version would be second. And this app third.

Still major issues with changing name of dive location. When reviewing dives it takes you back to the top of the list after you exit a dive so searching through multiple older dives is a huge pain. My wife used gps from my transmitter and for some reason her “pins” are in Africa when mine are correct. Very unpolished and disappointing “upgrade”, although still feels less 1980’s than shearwater cloud. The terrible apps pit a dark cloud over the experience. The hardware is amazing, but the software doesn’t match the experience. Time to fire the software team and start over.
