then. It now supports Linux, Windows and MacOS and allows data import from
|
||||||
|
a large number of dive computers and several existing divelog programs. It
|
||||||
|
provides advanced visualization of the key information provided by a
|
||||||
|
modern dive computer and allows the user to track a wide variety of data
|
||||||
|
about their diving.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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. It
|
||||||
|
calculates a wide variety of statistics of the user's diving and
|
||||||
|
calculates and tracks information like SAC rate or OTU.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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. In
|
||||||
|
fall of 2012 Dirk Hohndel has taken over as Subsurface maintainer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The latest version is Subsurface 2.1, released in October of 2012.
