Export dive logs to Subsurface?
-
Hi again,
I’ve tried to import the .fit files into subsurface but it returns an error which says it cannot parse the file. From browsing the subsurface forums, it seems that some people have had similar issues parsing the data from Garmin .fit files. They got around this in some cases by tricking the app, but it required a USC connection…
Unsure what my next move is, I guess I’ll bug the subsurface devs to see if they can assist.
If the Suunto devs are reading: you guys are 95% of the way to a GREAT recreational computer, it just lacks an underwater compass, dive planner, and the ability to export our files using one of the old suunto dive log formats like *.db. Next update PLEASE
-
@SimonJames I think you should provide the fit file to the developers of the tool you use so that they can support it

I ran into the same issue, and after finding this thread, posted about it in the SubSurface user group: https://groups.google.com/g/subsurface-divelog/c/5640mbRaxQE
Per Linus, it turns out this is possible – go to “Import”, then “Import from dive computer”, then pick “FIT” as the dive computer manufacturer, and then point the “Device or mount point” at the directory where your xyz.fit files are.
The GPS co-ordinates aren’t correctly picked up by the map at present (the field used by Suunto is different to Garmin which FIT support was built for), but otherwise it seems to work well.

@garethm
I could not find "FIT” as the dive computer manufacturer. -
@diogao13 that’s strange, it appears for me. I’m using 6.0.5214 on MacOS. I’ve been able to successfully import my dives from my Suunto Ocean this way.
-
Thank you. I tried Android version 6.0.5214.

HI!!
I’ve exported the dives into fit files and imported them into subsurface. However, I think some of the data is wrong. The dive profile (depth@time) is correct, but the total dive time is wrong. I’ve tried with several dives, all of them 45-60 minutes dives, but subsurface imports them as 8-12 minute dives, which affect to the statistics (air consume, average depth, …).
Any one else had the same problem?

@Mikel-Larrañaga it is better if you report this to SubSurface, if the only fit import they ever tested is from Garmin there may be differences in the file that they need to account for now
-
@Mikel-Larrañaga how did you export the dives? I’m trying to do the same but don’t see an option in the mobile app
-
@doogfish, I believe phone app needs an update. You will be able to sync the dives in PC version.
