Hi Robert,
Yes, the Marine Life lookup at EOL.org is working in DiveLogDT (and Dive Log on iOS) again. It actually has been working for quite a while now, so please let us know if you are having any difficulties. I just checked it this morning and it worked fine for me. There was an outage at EOL.org last week while they did some maintenance, but other than that it has been working as far as I know.
Just as a reminder, you use the "Marine Life" item under "LOGBOOK" in the sidebar of DiveLogDT and then use the "New Marine Life" item under the gear icon or the "New Item" on the main Edit menu to add a new marine life item. Then click on the "Lookup" button to begin your search on EOL.org. If you have an existing marine life item that you want to update, just click on its current name and then click the "Edit" button. The search is a little less broad based since EOL.org switched to their new platform although they are improving it regularly as they finish migrating their data to the new platform. You might need to to try your search in a couple of different ways to get the critter you are looking for with their new platform but I'm finding that most searches result in the critter I'm looking for.
Let us know if you are still having issues and we can take a closer look at your specific situation.
Cheers,
Greg
