Hello!
I'm just looking for some dive profiles. Thanls for the link.
Other naive question. Does the dive computers follows some communication protocol or every dive computer manufacturer has a proprietary way of communication and data format export?
They are all special. Some got public specifications on the communication protocols, some private specifications that you might get access to, and some of the protocols are reverse engineered. Some even harass and threaten to try to keep their protocol private.
One example of a protocol can be found at: https://bitbucket.org/heinrichsweikamp/hwos_code/src/default/doc/?at=default
HeinrichsWeikamp have their protocol documented and public, and as far as I know, their alone in that camp.
libdivecomputer is probably the best way to get a unified api towards as many dive computers as possible.

Hi!
Is there any place or repository that I can download some dive sample
data?
By the way, I have a dive computer (TUSA IQ-650 Element) but
unfortunately
it doesn't provide a PC interface to download dive data.
There are some trickery where you can run libdivecomputer "backwards" to simulate a divecomputer based on a previously extracted memory dump but thats not a process for the faint hearted.
I don't know of any source with "libdivecomputer" formated data, because its a api. Is it xml-data, like the ones from the universial downloader you're looking for?
If its just "dive profiles" you're looking for, you can find some in the subsurface git repository. Some of them are "normal" dives, and some are just plain odd to use as testdata in subsurface. They can be found at: http://git.subsurface-divelog.org/?p=subsurface.git;a=tree;f=dives;hb=HEAD or https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/tree/master/dives
