We also have some trouble with Android OS as some newer Android versions prevent us from accessing the USB devices. What versions of DC, cable (the serial chip), phone and Android you are using? (I have used OTG on Nexus 7 tablet and Suunto Vyper Air DC successfully, don't remember the Android version on the tablet.)

Does it still work? Because Vyper Air on a Nexus 7 fails for me. :(

This would enable me to only bring the phone while travelling, even on the boat or shore and download my dives, getting the current position etc. without worrying if the phone gets wet or not.
