Inspecting each individual dive in order to determine whether there are associated photos can be time consuming. There is a

==== Computer-reported events during dive
Many dive computers record events during a dive. For instance,
most dive computers report alarms relating to high partial pressures of oxygen,
to rapid ascents or the exceeding of no-deco limits (NDL).
On the other hand, other events are classified as warnings and, for instance, occur when
the remaining gas in a cylinder falls below a predetermined limit, a deep stop needs to be performed or
the need to change gas during multicylinder dives. Some dive computers also report notifications,
e.g. when a safety stop is initiated or terminated or when a predetermined amount of OTUs have been incurred.
The alarms, warnings and notifications differs from one dive computer to another: some dive computers do not
report any of the above events, while others provide an extensive log of events. The reporting of events
is therefore a function of the dive computer used. In addition, _Subsurface_ does not always
have the ability to detect all the events reported by a specific dive computer.
Events are indicated by symbols on the dive profile. Notifications are shown as a white, round symbol with a letter _i_;
warnings are indicated by a yellow triangle and alarms by a red triangle. By moving the cursor over a symbol,
the explanation is given in the bottom-most line of the _Information Box_ (see image below, where the cursor is positioned
over the alarm that was reported).

This dive has photographs taken immediately before or immediately after the dive. This is useful for
finding photos of dive teams or boats just before/after the dive, whales or other surface animals seen
just before or after the dive, or of landscapes as seen from the boat.

Ensure that the dive to be transferred to the timeline is shown in the _Subsurface_ *Dive Profile* panel. If, from the *Main Menu*, you

with the dive profile (image *B*, below). To transfer a dive profile to _Facebook_, the name of a
_Facebook_ album is needed. The checkboxes on the left hand side let you decide how much
additional information should be transferred with the dive profile. This information is shown in the text box
