Mares dive log: Genius, Sirius, Quad and Puck dives beside every other computer

Updated October 19, 2026

BubbleJournal downloads from Mares's Bluetooth computers, so your dives can sit beside the ones from any other computer you have dived with, on the web and on your phone.

Over Bluetooth, from the app

The app is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. Until then, bring the dives in from a file.

Turn on the computer's Bluetooth from its menu, tap Download dives in the app and choose it.

From a file

Save the dives from Mares's software, then choose the files on the Import page, many at once or as a zip.

• Mares Dive Organizer, exported dives: .xml

What comes across

• The depth profile and water temperature
• Over Bluetooth: gases and the switches between them, the computer's own NDL and stops, and tank pressures from an air-integrated computer
• From Dive Organizer: the place and country, and your comments

Every file you import is kept exactly as uploaded, so nothing is lost if BubbleJournal learns to read more of it later.

What doesn't

• Older Mares computers that connect only by cable, such as the Icon HD and the Nemo, can't be downloaded by the app.
• Dive Organizer exports are read as Subsurface reads them, but none from a real logbook has been tried yet.

Its decompression model

Older Mares computers use Mares-Wienke RGBM. Newer ones, such as the Genius and Sirius, offer Bühlmann ZHL-16C with gradient factors as well. Where the file holds it, the computer's own NDL comes across with each dive. BubbleJournal also works the NDL and tissue loading out again with one model, Bühlmann ZHL-16C, so dives from any computer can be compared: why your computer and your logbook disagree.

What the numbers mean

• Air consumption (SAC rate): how to work it out and use it
• No-decompression limit (NDL): what it is and why it changes
• Tissue loading: what the percentage means and how it falls
• How to read a dive profile
