Slate Now Imports Directly From Your Dive Computer

Slate adds wireless Bluetooth import for Shearwater, Suunto, Mares, and Oceanic dive computers. No desktop software. No cables. No account.

Slate now imports dives directly from your dive computer over Bluetooth. No desktop software. No cables. No account. Pair your computer with your iPhone, pull in your dives with full profile detail, and review them on the device you actually carry to the dive site.

What changed

Until today, Slate users had two ways to get computer data into the app: UDDF file import, or manual entry. Both work, but both ask something of you. UDDF means going to a desktop, exporting from the manufacturer’s software, AirDropping to your phone. Manual entry means you have already lost the profile.

Direct Bluetooth import removes that friction. You finish a dive, sit down with your iPhone, pair the computer, and your dive — depth trace, temperature trace, gas changes, safety stops — appears in Slate.

Tested computers

Wireless Bluetooth import is confirmed working with:

  • Shearwater — Perdix, Peregrine, Teric, Petrel, NERD
  • Suunto — EON Core, EON Steel, D5, Zoop Novo, Vyper Novo
  • Mares — Genius, Quad, Puck Pro+
  • Oceanic — Geo 4.0, VTX, ProPlus X

Garmin Descent watches and other UDDF-capable computers continue to work via UDDF file import.

The full list, with setup instructions and FAQ, lives at toolsfordivers.com/slate/devices.

Profiles, not just summaries

Imported dives keep the full profile. You see depth and temperature traces, gas changes plotted on the timeline, ascent rates, and safety stops. That is what dive analysis actually requires. A summary card with max depth and bottom time is fine for a memory; the profile is what you review when something felt off.

Multi-computer, deduplicated

Many divers carry more than one computer — a backup, or a wrist computer alongside a primary. Slate handles imports from multiple devices without conflicts. If you import the same dive twice, deduplication catches it.

What is not changing

  • Slate is still local-first. Your dive log lives on your device.
  • There is still no account.
  • Manual entry, UDDF file import, and HealthKit depth import all still work.
  • CSV and UDDF export are still free.

Where to get it

Slate is on the App Store. The dive computer import is included — free for everyone.
