Dive rite workbench deco planner

[diverdarren]

Does anyone know if the diverite workbench deco planner software is still available anywhere on the diverite website?

i called them a couple of months ago and they said that they had taken it down to debug the program. the best thing to do would be drop them a line and find out when it will be released again, or if you can get a code e-mailed to you for upgrades and what not.

Ive been tracking this and it seems it is very very low on there priority list. Its unfortunate because I would love to have it for my Q.

[SkimFisher]

It seems non-existent on the priority list. It's really starting to grind my gears. I've been calling periodically since I got mine in January, and it's always "just a few weeks". I didn't know that "few weeks" could mean 5+ months.

I also have the Nitek Q and would like to see the logbook program come available sooner then later. Might be off the mark, but I get the feeling that they are having problems getting the components from overseas to construct the Nitek. And so not selling any, not selling any, not working on the logbook software.

The software is a selling point. It's part of buying into the package. I hope it's not as you say, but even if it is that's not my problem. I like the Q, but the out-of-the-box log feature leaves much to be desired. My Nitek Plus gives me 3x the dive data without the need for additional software. I can't even get water temp post-dive. I've had nothing but good experiences with DR in the past, but this has been a disappointment. According to the last convo I had with DR, there's no way to unlock any additional features without the software. I have the Trimix version of the Q, so really all I'm after is the log book. But this brings me back to my original point - if you pay $1000 for a computer, you should be able to get basic dive data out of it (beyond depth and time) without jumping through hoops. Shame on me for expecting the same experience I've had with past DR computers.

Agreed. The Q is my third DR computer, and I have loved them all. The log feature is horrible without the software. I hope something comes soon, or I feel I might have been better off buying a different computer.

I love "diving" mine, but factory response seems to have tailed off a bit here.

FWIW, I also carry a Nitek Plus just for the log data (and as a bottom timer)

[JamesK]

I have been doing that with my Duo as well.

I think my Duo is feeling abandoned and is looking for a lawyer. It was a marriage made in heaven until a sexier younger Q came knocking.

Now it is just an old has been, sitting in the "has been" dive bin for the day when I might need to go back. Just waiting for me to need it. Just planning to show me the whacked out depth sensor due to a low battery that never seems to get any warning....
