| === Logging special types of dives | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ==== Sidemount dives | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| _Subsurface_ easily handles dives involving more than one cylinder. Sidemount dive logging involves | ||||
| three steps: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - *During the dive, recording cylinder switch events*. Since sidemount diving normally involves two | ||||
| cylinders with air or with the same gas mixture, _Subsurface_ distinguishes among these different | ||||
| cylinders. In contrast, most dive computers that allow gas switching only distinguish among different | ||||
| _gases_ used, not among different _cylinders_ used. This means that when sidemount dives are downloaded | ||||
| from these dive computers, the events of switching between cylinders with the same gas are not downloaded. This may mean | ||||
| that one may have to keep a written log of cylinder switch times using a slate, or (if the dive computer | ||||
| has this facility) marking each cylinder switch with a bookmark that can be retrieved later. Returning | ||||
| from a dive with the information about cylinder changes is the only tricky part of logging sidemount dives. | ||||
| - *Within _Subsurface_ describe the cylinders used during the dive*. The diver needs to provide the | ||||
| specifications of the different cylinders, using the *Equipment* tab of the *Dive Info Panel* (see | ||||
| image below where two 12 litre cylinder were used). | ||||
| - *Indicate cylinder change events on the _Subsurface_ dive profile*. Once the dive log has been imported | ||||
| from a dive computer into _Subsurface_, the cylinder switch events need to be indicated on the dive profile. | ||||
| Cylinder changes are recorded by right-clicking at the appropriate point on the dive profile and then | ||||
| selecting _Add gas change_. A list of the appropriate cylinders is shown with the | ||||
| currently used cylinder greyed out. In the image below Tank 1 is greyed out, leaving only Tank 2 | ||||
| to be selected. Select the appropriate cylinder. The cylinder change is then indicated on the dive | ||||
| profile with a cylinder symbol. If the *Tank Bar* is activated using the toolbar to the left of the | ||||
| profile, then the cylinder change is also indicated on the Tank Bar (see image below). After all | ||||
| the cylinder change events have been recorded on the dive profile, the correct cylinder pressures | ||||
| for both cylinders are shown on the dive profile, as inthe image below. | ||||
