Rating: Designed by an 8 year old?
Reviewer: Douglas C., Friday, August 15, 2008
A 10 year old could have designed a better connector for the cable-to-PDC interface. SInce the design is so stupid and non-intuitive, a pictorial instruction would have been a nice touch. After you figure it out you have to sit there with one hand keeping it connected otherwise they self-disconnect if you look at them cross-eyed, or even if you dontt. And talk about overpriced, you gotta be kidding. But...its the only game in town so suck it up a buy it if you want to created useful logs of your diving adventures.

Rating: Oceanic Dive Downloader Cable and log software
Reviewer: David Winters, Thursday, April 10, 2008
If you have the computer, get the cable and software. Purchased after my first major dive trip (Bonaire). Lots of Dives to download at once. The intructions were good enough to download and install the software with no surprise. The Dive Log software is easy to use and it is neat to review the time/depth track. The Software allows diver to record typical entries from the log book with places for notes and attachments. Automatically (re)numbers Dives by Date and start time. Download and manual entries were equally easy to perform.

Rating:  Does the job, but...
Reviewer: Eric Evans, Saturday, December 08, 2007 - View all my reviews
i like my vt pro computer, but i think its a shame that the usb cordnecessary for uploading dive data to any computerdoesnt come standard. paying $400-500 for a computer is one thing, but an additional $79 for a simple usb cord stings. i cant imagine the meager additional profit is worth the customer aggravation such add-on costs cause.
the product itself works just fine, though the addition of a software cd would have been welcome. the program is a free download from the company website, but its just another example of oceanic asking the customer to jump through hoops for basic functionality.
the product works, and is absolutely necessary to keep a full, feature-rich catalog of your dives if you have any of a dozen or so oceanic dive computers. the records it keeps through a few clicks & a short upload are terrific, and being able to print out pages for my dive log complete with graphs is great. but each time i use it, im reminded that oceanic stuck it to me an extra $80 or so for something that should have been included with my dive computer purchase.
finally, the cost of peripheral cables has ped so much in the past few years that its hard to believe this product retails for more than $20. scuba.com deserves credit for selling it as inexpensively as they dotheir list price is a good $20 below most everyone elses. imho, oceanic needs to reevaluate their policy here and package this automatically with dive computers.

Rating: Adequate connecting cable
Reviewer: Dale E., Friday, August 24, 2007 - View all my reviews
The usb interface works well, it has one drawback that it does not lock well into the computer. It is possible to lose data if you bump the computer or cable during download. Other wise, it seems to work great.

Rating: Pro Plus USB cable
Reviewer: Rick G., Sunday, August 12, 2007 - View all my reviews
I really like the ability to down load my dive profiles. What I have learned is that my Oceanic computer seems to give more information when downloaded than I can get when I use the screen log review. That is disturbing the computer shows such little information without downloading the dive. I am glad I am downloading the dives but if this computer breaks then I will look for with all the information I desire while still on the dive boat away from my PC.
The cable works and the software is availble from the Oceanic website.

Rating: Great way to keep dive records
Reviewer: Sam A., Thursday, April 12, 2007 - View all my reviews
This is the best way to back up you logs. It allows both my wife and I to creat an electronic record of our dives in the event our dive log gets lost or destroyed...a possibility when travelling to various countries for a dive experience. Highly recommend.

Its nice to be able to connect to my dive computer and display my dive results with this USB connector. Easy hook-up and once you get the hang of how to use the software, its easy to follow!
