How Do I Manually Upload an Activity I Recorded to the Garmin Dive App?

If a recorded dive from your dive computer did not sync into the Garmin Dive™ app, you can manually import the activity into the Garmin Connect™ website, which will then send the dive information to your Garmin Dive app automatically. Instructions to manually upload the activity are below. You will need the USB charging/data cable that came with your dive computer and a personal computer with a USB port in order to manually upload the activity.
