We do already support import in CSV format for some DC models. To include your DC I would need sample dive logs and possibly a description of the format, if it is not self explanatory. Then I can pre-configure the fields for your DC. As Dirk mentioned, there is also other info needed for seamless integration. Especially to import other data than only the dive profile, we will need some more details. But for pure dive profile import, a sample log should allow me to add basic support.
