Share dive logs

From the dive details page, it is possible to share a dive log as:

A PDF document
A Word document
A CSV file

Tap the sharing icon in the upper right corner and select which format you wish to share the dive.

CSV file

The CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a data file with all telemetry information from the dive, such as temperature, depth, heading, battery information, location information, and more. See this video tutorial for more information about how to use the CSV file, or visit the Blueye SDK for technical documentation for the log file format.

PDF file

The PDF file is a document representation of the dive log, with all key information from the dive, such as:

Date and time for dive and report generation
Title and description
Operator information
Location information, both GPS and address (based on GPS location)
Average and minimum water temperature
Maximum and the average depth
Chart of depth profile for dive
All still pictures imported to your device

Word file

The Word file option will generate the same document as for the PDF option but as an editable Word document (.docx file format). This file can be transferred to your computer or edited directly on your mobile device if you have installed the Microsoft Word mobile application for Android or iOS.
