Very little out there: DiveLog
is really the only one that runs native on the Mac OS.
I dive with an oceanic Atom 2, and run windows on my mac by using parallels software ..to be able to use my Mac and my Dive Computer as one. You wont find any other options, either emulate windows, or use macdivelog with a Suunto. Sad ..so many Mac divers and we never yell loud enough for the diving computer manufacturers to hear us, so we tuck our tails between our proverbial legs and just put up.

The Sensus Ultra is just a recorder, not a computer, but it does a nice job and works with OS X. Just hang it on your back plate or put it in your pocket and forget it. It holds some crazy amount of dives before it starts to reuse its memory.

I am not 100% on this but I think Windows emulators for the Mac now run just about anything... that means that even if they wont run in 'native' mode they will run within the emulator.

i'd rather write logs by hand instead of use parallels to run windows on my mac.

when you guys say run it with an emulator... are you talking about something like boot camp or parallels, or is there something out there different that i just never looked into?

I'm curious as to why?

You are already using PC style hardware... that's why parallels and such run so well...

The only ones that I know of are the Suunto models. Freeware program (donations appreciated) MacDive from thedoorisajar.org. Older OSX versions supported by MacDiveLog located at softpedia.

i dont know... i have a good copy of windows XP at home... maybe i should set parallels up... worst case scenario i undo it...

is it very expensive to develop a version for mac (say like the oceanic or mares or even zeagle log?)

Guest PC is another option. I've never used it but I'm sure there are several like it out there.
