JDiveLog is an open source diver's logbook for logging scuba dives. JDiveLog project is written in Java (JRE 5.0 or later required). For transfer of dive profiles from a dive computer, the javax.comm package has to be installed and configured.

For Linux I recommend the RXTX implementation. Up to now some Suunto models are supported. I would appreciate feedback whether a dive computer model works or not.

The reason for writing this logbook was, because I couldn't find a logbook software for Linux which had all features i wished.

JDiveLog is licensed under the terms of the GPL. So anybody can use it and modify it as he wants.

Here are some key features of "JDiveLog":
Import of UDCF dive profile data
Displaying dive profiles as nice graphs
Recording all major dive data
Managing pictures from the dive trip
Generation of a simple web page with dive profile, dive data and pictures
i18n: german and english available
Units displayed metric or imperial
Download of dive profiles from Suunto dive computers
Download of dive profiles from Aladin computers
Import of logbook data from WLog
Import of logbook data from DataTrack / MemoMouse
Statistics of dive partners, dives sites, countries, ...
Search functionality

Requirements:
Java 1.4 or later
