Import your dives

Import Excel dives

If your logbook currently lives in Excel — one row per dive, a tab of memories — you can bring it in directly. No converting to CSV first: .xlsx and .xls files import as-is, free.

Updated September 3, 2026

Getting the file

There's nothing to convert:

  1. Use your existing workbook, one dive per row with a heading row — columns like date, site, max depth, duration, temperature, buddy, notes.
  2. Both .xlsx and the older .xls are accepted; the first sheet with dive-shaped rows is read.

Importing it here

  1. Create a free logbook (or sign in) — importing is free on every plan, always.
  2. Open Import & export from the account menu and drop your file on the import panel.
  3. Review the preview — every dive is shown exactly as it will be saved, and nothing is written to your logbook until you confirm.

What carries over

The same as CSV: dates, sites, locations, depths, durations, temperatures, pressures, buddies, ratings, notes — matched from your column headings, with units read from the values and a preview of every dive before anything is saved.

After import your dives behave like any others: unit preferences apply, stats include them, and each one can become a shareable public page. Also importing from elsewhere? All the formats: Subsurface, UDDF, CSV, DAN DL7.
