=== 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.
