other similar software solutions, including compatibility with Windows,

macOS, Linux (many distributions), Android and iOS. In addition,

<h3 id="_using_cloud_storage">3.2. Using Cloud Storage</h3>
2018-02-07 16:49:11 +00:00
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>Subsurface</em> developers provide a custom free Internet cloud storage
account that can be used for storing dive log information. This cloud
storage account can be created either from <em>Subsurface</em> on the desktop or
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> using a mobile device; you can do full maintenance of a
dive log from <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> alone. By using the same credentials wirh
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> and <em>Subsurface</em> for desktop, the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud
storage allows you to share your dive log between both (or even more than
two) devices.</p></div>
2017-10-16 08:49:10 +00:00
<div class="paragraph"><p>The dive data are cached both on the mobile device as well as on the desktop
- it is easy to create backups of the data (for example in XML format) on
the desktop, and both mobile device and desktop keep a local copy of the
data so that the dive log is always accessible, even without Internet
connection. The Subsurface team never accesses a user’s dive data without
explicit permission to do so, the data are not used for any purpose other
than providing them to the user who created them. There are no ads and no
harvesting / analysis of the data stored in the Subsurface cloud storage.</p></div>
2018-11-05 08:25:51 +00:00
<div class="paragraph"><p>Enter an e-mail address and a password in the fields indicated on the
screen. The e-mail address should be in lower case and the password should
contain a combination of letters from the alphabet (upper and lower case)
and/or numbers. Tap the "Sign-in or Register" button. If you have already
set up an account from the <em>Subsurface</em> desktop application, enter the same
credentials here. Once the dive list has been downloaded from the cloud,
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> usually works only with the the local copy on the mobile
device. This avoids long delays or even failure of operations if there is a
bad (or no) internet connection, a situation fairly common at many dive
sites.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If this is a new account, a PIN screen will open (see image on right,
above). A PIN is e-mailed to the email address entered in the previous
step. Enter this PIN into the field indicated and tap the <em>Register</em>
button. The user information is stored on the cloud server and access to the
cloud is enabled. In this case the dive list is initially empty. Start
entering dives in the dive log or download dive information from a supported
dive computer.</p></div>
2017-10-16 08:49:10 +00:00
<div class="paragraph"><p>The dive log can be updated automatically. If there is Internet
connectivity, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> accesses the cloud-based dive log to
verify that the local copy of the dive log is still the same as the log in
the cloud server. If not, the local copy and the copy on the server are
synchronized.</p></div>

Android devices these are typically dive computers using an FTDI interface
using a USB OTG cable (but this is blocked on some Android devices by OS
settings). Android devices also support all Bluetooth dive computers that
are supported in Subsurface. And both Android and iOS devices allow direct
download of dive data from a hand full of Bluetooth LE enabled dive
computers.</p></div>
2018-11-05 08:25:51 +00:00
<div class="paragraph"><p>Use the <em>Vendor name</em> and <em>Dive Computer</em> drop-downs to pick the correct

2018-02-07 16:49:11 +00:00
<div class="paragraph"><p>The process for download is slightly different between the two OSs. In our
testing we got the best results on iOS when the dive computer was in
Bluetooth mode before <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> is started. On most dive computers
this is done through a menu entry, others (like the Suunto models) always
respond to BLE requests.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>On Android devices, you should first establish a link between the Bluetooth

utilities. See below for more details.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>For USB dive computers, USB cables "normally" used for uploading dives to a
2017-10-16 08:49:10 +00:00
desktop/laptop computer do NOT work: these cables usually have a full-sized
("Type A") male USB plug on one end which plugs into the USB port of a
desktop/laptop computer. For downloads to a mobile device one needs a USB
OTG (USB On-The-Go) cable. In most cases it is required to plug the USB
cable "normally" used with the dive computer into a USB OTG cable which, in
turn, plugs into the mini-USB (or sometimes a USB "Type C") receptacle of
the mobile device. The OTG cable usually has a full-size ("Type A") female
receptacle at one end which accommodates the full-sized male plug of the USB
cable "normally" used (see image below). This means that two cables are used
to connect the dive computer to the mobile device.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Please note that not all Android devices support OTG cables. And even on
some devices that do support those cables in general, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>
still in some cases cannot access a dive computer through a serial port.</p></div>

Bluetooth and Bluetooth-low-energy (BTLE). The appropriate choice of

a Shearwater Petrel 2 dive computer, the vendor is <em>Shearwater</em> and the Dive
computer name is <em>Petrel 2</em>. From the two dropdown lists at the top of the
