Subsurface - an Open Source Divelog
===================================
Subsurface is able to track multi-tank dives with air, Nitrox or
TriMix. It keeps track of equipment like weights and exposure
protection used, tracks the dice locations (if available including GPS
fixes), dive masters and dive buddies and allows the user to rate
dives and provide additional dive notes. It calculates a wide variety
of statistics of the user's diving and calculates and tracks
information like SAC rate, partial pressures of O2, N2 and H2,
calculated deco information, and many more.
Subsurface is an open source divelog program that runs on Windows, Mac
and Linux.
Subsurface allows the user to print out a detailed log book including dive
profiles and other relevant information. The program is localized in about
a dozen languages and well supported by an active developer community.
With Subsurface the user can download dive information directly from a
large number of supported dive computers. Subsurface is able to track
multi-tank dives with air, Nitrox or TriMix, weights and exposure
protection used, dive masters and dive buddies and allows the user to
rate dives and provide additional dive notes. Subsurface also allows
to track dive locations including GPS coordinates and offers a
convenient map interface to enter these locations directly in the
program. It calculates a wide variety of statistics of the users
diving and calculates and tracks information like the user's SAC rate,
partial pressures of O2, N2 and He, calculated deco information, and
many more.
