Deepblu dive logs: export them and move to Depthlog

Why Oceanic logs get stuck
Oceanic has a long history of dive computers and more than one desktop tool. Older models often rely on OceanLog on Windows, while newer ones may use a mobile app or a cloud account. The result is a logbook split across software versions, and an export path that changes with the model.
The practical answer is the same for almost every Oceanic computer: use a universal tool to download the dives, then export a format that any logbook can read.
The universal route: Subsurface
Subsurface is free and open source. It supports a broad list of Oceanic models over USB and can export to UDDF.
Depthlog imports UDDF, CSV and JSON. UDDF is the best choice because it keeps the dive profile and gas data.
1. Install Subsurface
Download it from the official release page and install the version for your operating system.
2. Download the dives
Connect the Oceanic computer by USB. In Subsurface, open the import section, choose Dive Computer, select Oceanic as the manufacturer and start the download.
Some Oceanic models need a specific USB driver or a particular cable. If the computer is not detected, try another port, restart the machine and check the Subsurface compatibility page for your model.
3. Export to UDDF
Select the dives, open the File menu and choose the export option. Save the file as UDDF.
4. Import into Depthlog
Open the import page, choose the UDDF file and review the dives. Depthlog checks for duplicates, so a repeated import is safe.
If you already use OceanLog
OceanLog is a Windows desktop application for several Oceanic models. If it can export your dives to UDDF or CSV, import that file directly. If it only produces a proprietary format, use Subsurface as the bridge: download the dives there and export UDDF.
Troubleshooting
- Computer not detected: check the cable, the USB driver and the port. Try a different machine if possible.
- Download interrupted: keep the computer awake and retry in smaller batches.
- Import rejected: confirm the file is UDDF, CSV or JSON, not a PDF or a proprietary backup.
Why bring your Oceanic logs to Depthlog
Depthlog turns a list of dives into a history you can use:
- lifetime statistics, SAC trends and depth progression;
- one timeline across Oceanic and any other brand;
- a repetitive-dive planner with your real surface intervals;
- buddy tags, a dive map, certificates and shareable summaries.
Start here: create a free Depthlog account and import your file. No credit card required.
