I have no idea, no access to such a setup, and no faith whatsoever
that this
would work ever (or consistently between different phones / Android
versions
/ dongle versions / dive computers. This simply isn't something that
we ever
looked at.
To make this work, the phone would need an irda stack and the kernel
drivers for the usb dongle. I would be very surprised if there are
phones with those features enabled. Most phones don't even have the
more common usb-serial drivers. So the chance that this will work out
of the box is probably near zero.
In theory you could implement a userspace stack (there is a java
implementation, which is also being used by Scubapro's Logtrak
application) in combination with a userspace usb driver.

Divemate has an IR mobile phone dongle that works for at least the
Uwatec range of computers that are IrDA. I have no idea whether that is
a full implementation of the IrDA stack or whether it is just a hack. It
would be very useful to know what their approach was in designing this.
Kind regards,
