Hello:) do you have plans to review the new Mares Quad Air? Thanks! I love your videos!:)

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Absolutely, will be in the very near future.

[@darrenberger6893]

Hello,the Blue link only downloads to a smart device (iPhone or other) and not to a PC, correct? I would still need the Dive Link 2 to download to a computer, correct?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

To the best of our knowledge it will only work with smart devices (Smart Phones, Tablets, I-Pads).

Hello from Germany I tried to transfer my dives from the Mares Puck Pro + via Bluelink Pro to the SSI App. I did everything as you demonstrated in your great video. Bluelink Pro LED has turned green. Then the error message "Alert DC_NOT_READY!" Can you help me? Kind regards Derk Schulze

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

If it turns green, then you have a bad connection. Once connected it should blink with a blue light. Make sure the contacts are lined up, as sometimes they will slip and disconnect.

Good morning Brian, Jon from Michigan. Will this link with PADI?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Jonny, this only works with the SSI app.

[@dixee6498]

I think I just asked you about this earlier...sorry! Lol. I will assume the Blue Link will work with the Smart Air as well.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

You would be correct, the Smart Air also works with the Blue Link.

[@mohnouby9523]

Hi, does it mean I won't be able to use the Bluelink to download my divelog unless I'm SSI licensed?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Moh Nouby, the Blue Link is designed for a select series of Mares Computers and the SSI app.

[@wessmith3635]

I can go into Bluetooth on my phone, hit pair device, it blinks green. Then when I get to my SSI app it stops blinking green instead blinks blue?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Wes, delete the app, and download the latest version and see if this helps.

[@wessmith3635]

@@LakeHickoryScuba the latest update on the current SSI app is of sep 3 2019

Hello, Very interesting video ! I own a Mares QUAd, but when I connect it to the SSI application, computer is found, but when it tries to load dives, I get the following error : "Alert" "DC_NOT_READY" and then the computer disconnects ... Can you help me ? Thanks

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Make sure you put your dive computer into PC Ready mode. It should down load dives then.

[@ZepVieux]

Thanks for your answer ... but ... I did it as told on your video (PC Ready is on) which is very well done ... Bluetooth transmitter starts blinking green and then tells "Alert" .... I think bluetooth sender is not OK, because when I try on a PC with "Subsurface" with bluetooth mode, the item is not found. I will try with an USB chord ... It's a new computer buyed for my spouse and there were her firsts dives with this computer. Nevetheless thanks for your help and sorry for my poor English (I'm French ;-) )

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

You're welcome. It is my understanding, that the Blue Link will only work on handheld devices such as smart phones and tablets. If you are trying to link to a desk top computer, I'm not certain it will work. One other thing it could be a software issue. In this case, you should be able to download new software for your computer from the Mares Website. Hopefully this will fix the issue.

Got the Puck Pro and Bluelink for Xmas. Tried connecting the bluelink using the Mares Bluelink app and the SSI app. It works fine on Samsung S7 but tried it with my Samsung S8 and the app does not pick it up. Tested it with 2 other Samsung S8 and same issue, App does not pick it up. The phone bluethooth does see the bluelink and able to connect to is as when you connect the light goes from blinking blue to blinking green. when you open the app and click refresh, it goes back to blinking blue and does not show the devise in the app. Anyone else having the same issue with Samsung S8 and the App? This seems to be an issue between the app and the particular model phone.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Mahendaraj Supramaniam, one of our other Instructors had issues with his Blue Link not connecting as well. If you would like to send us an email ([e-mail]), I will be happy to put him in contact with you on how he solved the problem.

[@AndresDelapava]

Hello, only works with SSI app? DiversDiary didn't work?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

You are correct. Currently the Blue Link will only work with the SSI App. Hopefully that will be changing soon.

[@marios4all]

@@LakeHickoryScuba It also works with the open source subsurface mobile application.

[@wessmith3635]

So the blue Link will not connect Bluetooth to my phone?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Wes, delete the app, and download the latest version and see if this helps.

[@JibeTalking]

Mares Bluelink does not work with the Mares Genius. Can you pleased a video on how to download my dive logs to the Mares SSI app. I can't figure it out... Again Mares is NOT helpful and have a horrible tech office... Oh they have no tech at all. UGHHH! Extremely frustrated with MARES!

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Ron Martin. The Genius connects directly through Blue Tooth. I will be happy to try to make a video for you on the procedure. If you would like to email us with your phone number, we can connect with you and walk you through the process as well.

[@maj55k]

Must you use only SSI app, or can you use another app like Idivediary?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Mark Johnson, unfortunately the blue Link system will only work with the MYSSI app.

[@marios4all]

You can use subsurface !
