Suunto Dive Manager

[caravan]

I've just treated myself to a Suunto Stinger and would be interested in getting the Dive Manager to download the dive profiles. Does anyone know if the Dive Manager Software is compatible with Macs or is it just a pc thing?

Suunto Dive Manager unfortunately only works with Windows. But there's a person who has invented a method to get the software (Suunto Dive Manager, Suunto Activity Manager, Suunto Ski Manager.) to work with Macs.

NOTE: Suunto doesn't take any responsibilities for this:

Thanks for that. I'll gather all the bits together and have a tinker.

Merry Christmas.
