join dives feature

Was there a reply to this? I have even had my dive get split from going over a reef even though I didn’t break the surface but had to come close to surface to get over reef and continue dive.

you can download the dives as .fit files via logged in under https://connect.garmin.com/:

* select diving in the very left column

* select the respective dives to be exported ('details')

* klick the gearwheel on the very right up and select export to download 

use e.g. FIT File Tools to join the files and import the entire dive to your Connect account via https://connect.garmin.com/

worked for me

Thank you this worked like a charm.

A few additional tips:

• I used https://www.fitfiletools.com/#/combiner#view to combine the files
• You must remove the old entries before importing the combined file
• Once it has been imported, make sure to change the activity type to the desired one, by default is "Other"
  • In my case I switched it to "Diving Single Gas"
• You may need to update the description and activity number

Thank you for your post. I am having the same issue, and I tried your solution but it didn't seem to work, because most of the relevant data about the dive, including the time, depth, and other data about the dive profile did not come through in the combined file. I was wondering if anybody else had this issue, and knows a solution. Thank you!

Yeah forget about doing that, not possible as of writing. The method described in the thread results in losing most of the data. I resort to keeping the dive in parts as they are and call them " - part 1", " - part 2" etc.

Additionally, dives can be renumbered on Garmin Connect to have the same dive number ie I have two Dive 438, being the first and second parts of the same dive 

I had this issue too. It stems from the data being mostly stored in the DiveSummary message, and all of the fit utilities being more generic in nature don't generate this data.

So I wrote my own utility to combine dives together:

thx, which OS does it support?

It's written in Java, so should run on any OS you can install a JRE on. But it was written and tested on a Windows platform.

Sumo, thank you very much, this worked great for me!  I appreciate your efforts!
