Maybe you have a lot of dives logged using other dive log software. You don't have to type all information by hand into
_Subsurface_, because you can probably import your divelog. _Subsurface_ will import divelogs from a range of other dive log software, including
XML exports from DivingLog, divelogs.de and Suunto
DiveManager. Native format of JDiveLog and MacDive are imported as well.
_Subsurface_, because you can probably import your divelog. _Subsurface_ will import divelogs from a range of other dive log software. Some software is supported natively (e.g. divelogs.de, JDiveLog, MacDive, and Suunto DM4), for others you have to export your logbook to XML and then _Subsurface_ can import that XML file (Suunto DM3, DivingLog). _Subsurface_ can also import UDDF and UDCF files that are used by some divelog software and even some divecomputers like the Heinrichs & Weikamp DR5. Finally, for some divelog software we currently suggest to import your logbook first into a webservice like divelogs.de and then import them from there with _Subsurface_, as divelogs.de supports a few additional logbook formats that _Subsurface_ currently cannot parse.
When importing dives, _Subsurface_ tries to detect multiple records for
the same dive and merges the information as best as it can. If
there are no time zone issues (or other reasons that would cause the
beginning time of the dives to be almost simmultaneous) _Subsurface_
beginning time of the dives to be significantly different) _Subsurface_
will not create duplicate entries.

When mounted as a USB drive the Heinrichs Weikamp DR5 saves a single UDDF file for every dive.

import or open, _Subsurface_ is tested to work with DR5.
Note: The DR5 does not seem to store gradient factors nor deco information, so for
_Subsurface_ it is not possible to display them. Adjust the gradient
factors in the Tec Settings in _Subsurface_ to generate a deco overlay in the _Subsurface_ *Dive Profile* panel
to get deco displayed but please note that the deco calculated by _Subsurface_
will most likely differ from the one display at the DR5.
