The Suunto app is a good home for Suunto dives

The Suunto app syncs your computer, shows the dive and keeps the history in one place. If you only dive Suunto, it covers the basics.

The gaps appear when the logbook has to do more: another brand, a rental computer, a repetitive dive that needs a real residual-nitrogen answer, or a record you want to share outside the app.

When Depthlog is the better fit

  • You dive Suunto and other brands, or rent computers on trips.
  • You want to log on the phone, on the boat, in under a minute.
  • You plan repetitive dives and want the residual nitrogen penalty and remaining bottom time in one screen.
  • You want a shareable record beyond the manufacturer app.

When Subsurface or Diving Log is the better fit

  • You want a desktop archive and deep control over profiles.
  • You dive technical profiles with multiple gases.
  • You prefer open source (Subsurface) or a commercial Windows application (Diving Log 6.0).

How to move your Suunto logs

Export your dives with the Suunto app or Subsurface, then import the file into Depthlog. The step-by-step route is in our Suunto export guide.
