Some software is supported natively (e.g. divelogs.de, JDiveLog, MacDive, and Suunto DM4), for others you have to export your logbook to XML and then _Subsurface_ can import that XML file (Suunto DM3, DivingLog). _Subsurface_ can also import UDDF and UDCF files that are used by some divelog software and even some divecomputers like the Heinrichs & Weikamp DR5. Finally, for some divelog software we currently suggest to import your logbook first into a webservice like divelogs.de and then import them from there with _Subsurface_, as divelogs.de supports a few additional logbook formats that _Subsurface_ currently cannot parse.
