Aqua Divelog Import ?

[Nick Shore]

Eric just mentioned this thread to me. He emailed me a few days back and I
ended up knocking together a (very nasty) python script to convert the data
for him.

If you're interested in the record format I found it here:

There was from memory one thing that wasn't in the right place (the buddies
string in the dive record), perhaps a version difference, I'm not sure. At
any rate, it's relatively straightforward given that, just the usual time..
