+[expand title="Why is my IRDA based dive computer not working on a MAC?"]
+
+Subsurface on the Mac does not currently support IRDA based dive computers. This is an issue of missing support libraries for us to use - other dive log software may have implemented their own IRDA stack on the Mac, we have not. Subsurface on Windows and Linux does support IRDA based dive computers just fine.
