FIT file export lacking a bunch of dive data
-
I bought a Suunto Tank Pod together with the Suunto Ocean, and I do not use the Suunto App for anything but dive computer/watch (Ocean) syncing, and I’d like to access and log all that data that’s being recorded regardless.
First things first, I really love the Suunto Ocean, and I can only recommend it so far. But there are a few things that still need fixing and stitching.
When exporting a dive log entry as a FIT file in the app, currently a lot of information won’t be added to the FIT file.
That includes but is not limited to:
- Gas consumption (if a Suunto Tank Pod is synced to the watch, data appears in the app but not in the FIT data) &/ Tank Pressure
- All the data required to create something similar to the “Dive Route” map (possibly relative locations or gyro-, accelero-, or magnetometer data, or however that data is stored)
- Meta data such as weather, wind speeds
- Gas type
Is there any way to access this data outside the Suunto app? If not, could we get that data added to the FIT files? If necessary, in an “extended FIT file” export option or something alike?
Or possibly add compatibility for the Suunto Ocean to the SuuntoLink software?
Or export the data as a binary dump, in whatever way it’s saved in the app & document this somewhere?
Really, any kind of way at all to access this data outside the app would be great.

If you have an android device you can make a dump of SA data, including raw data of your activities. They might contain what you need, but in a format you will need to handle (json) -
@Mff73 Good idea but it’s not ideal for 4 reasons:
- Reason 1: Requires an additional device with the ADB Kit downloaded
- Reason 2: Using ADB voids your devices’ warranty
- Reason 3: Takes a few steps to complete (& unless you want permanent USB Debugging active, also a couple of switches on your mobile after every dive (day) to sync
- Reason 4: Not an option for a lot of people not familiar with technology as some others may be
Hence it may be simpler if it just were a feature within the app.
Anyway, I went ahead and gave it a shot. I wrote a little guide in case anyone else is interested and wants to just follow a (hopefully) rather simple guide:
