The Universal Dive Data Format (UDDF) is the successor of the Universal Dive Computer Format (UDCF) and is designed to manage all dive data — planning, logging, analysing of scuba dives (apnoe, rebreathers, open systems, all possible breathing gases), logbook, calculation of dive tables, archiving etc. — regardless of manufacturer, and independent of the operating system respectively, and to provide its interchangeabilty.
UDDF is an open format and is . All interested people, and companies/manufacturers, are encouraged to support the further development. With this a maximum of flexibility and the newest stand of UDDF is obtained — reaction on scientific and technologic improvements is quickly possible.
UDDF is freely distributed. The aim of the developers is to establish UDDF worldwide as a standard data format for all types of dive data. The documentation for UDDF underlies the GNU Free Documentation License
