Importing dives from Suunto DM4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To import divelog from Suunto DM4, you need to locate the DM4 database
where the dives are stored. You can either look for the original
database or take a backup of the dives. We recommend the backup method
as the directory path to the main database is partly random.
Backing up Suunto DM4
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Start Suunto DM4
- Select 'File - Create backup'
- From the file menu select the location and name for the backup, we'll
use DM4 in here with the default suffix .bak
- Click 'Save'
- Your dives are now exported to the file DM4.bak
Reading Suunto DM4 backup in Subsurface

It is also possible to do the importing from command line just like with
