=== 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.
