MacDive

Using a dive computer is super important! This handy gadget keeps track of how deep you go and how long you're underwater. That way, it can help you figure out a safe way to come back up. It’s all about avoiding the nasty effects of decompression sickness!

Log Your Dives Easily

Your dive computer saves logs for all your dives, and the cool part is that you can transfer this data to your Mac. MacDive is a simple app that makes managing your diving info a breeze.

On the right side, you'll see details about whatever you've clicked on.
