That depends. What format are these files in? We support a number of such dive computers simply by importing and paying their log files directly in Subsurface.
Or is the storage abused as a way to communicate with the dive computer by writing and reading magical files? There is one dive computer like this that is supported directly in Subsurface: the Uemis Zurich.
I don't think libdivecomputer has a good way to support for system based dive computers at this point.

Subject: New to libdivecomputer. Where do I begin?
Hello,
I've been a libdivecomputer user (through subsurface) for a number of years. I'm in possession of a dive computer that is undergoing user testing now. I've been looking for an area I may be able to contribute to for a few years and feel this may be an interesting opportunity. My biggest issue is that I'm not sure where to begin the development process.
The computer exposes itself as a USB mass storage device. Dive logs are located in a known folder, and are stored in a file format which is well documented. Considering I'm not seeing any currently supported computers exposed as storage devices, is this support something that would even be desired and/or possible? As I understand it there is an IO refactoring that's potentially in the works. If desired, is now a bad time to start this process?
Thank you,
Ryan
