I don't know.

I think it's worth experimenting with it and see if we can at least extract 
the data we want via bluetooth. The question after that is whether we can 
parse it without the help of libdivecomputer or whether we can feed the raw 
data to libdivecomputer and it could parse for us.

So my suggestion is to research and post the findings back for discussion.
