Some divers use more than one dive computer at the same time, e.g. during technical diving.

If you import the dive profiles from these different dive computers into _Subsurface_, the

profiles can be viewed independently. During upload the data from the dive computers are automatically

=== Saving a dive with its dive plan
|
||||
|
||||
In the section dealing with <<S_MultipleDiveComputers, dives using more than one dive computer>>
|
||||
we discussed the way in which multiple profiles for a single dive can be viewed using the
|
||||
left-arrow and right-arrow keyboard keys. A similar method can be used for saving a dive plan
|
||||
with the profile of the actual dive, once this has been uploaded into _Subsurface_.
|
||||
In order to do this:
|
||||
|
||||
- Do the dive planning and save the final plan in the _Dive List_.
|
||||
- After diving, upload the dive data from the dive computer.
|
||||
- Change the date and time of the _dive plan_ to coincide with that of the
|
||||
real-life dive from the _dive computer_.
|
||||
- In the _Dive List_, highlight the dive plan as well as the data for the real dive
|
||||
and merge the two dives, making use of the Dive List Context Menu
|
||||
(available by righ-clicking a dive).
|
||||
|
||||
The text version of the dive plan is appended to the Notes in the _Notes Tab_. With this
|
||||
merged dive highlighted in the _Dive List_, switch
|
||||
between the planned profile and the real-life profile using the righ-arrow/left-arrow keyboard keys.
