If all the dives on the dive computer need to be downloaded, check the
|
||||
checkbox <em>Force download of all dives</em>. Normally, <em>Subsurface</em> only downloads
|
||||
dives after the date-time of the last dive in the <strong>Dive List</strong> panel. If one
|
||||
or more of your dives in <em>Subsurface</em> have been accidentally deleted or if there
|
||||
are older dives that still need to be downloaded from the dive computer, this
|
||||
checkbox needs to be activated. Some dive computers (e.g. Mares Puck) do not provide
|
||||
a contents list to <em>Subsurface</em> before the download in order to select only new dives.
|
||||
Consequently, for these dive computers, all dives are downloaded

irrespective of the status of this check box.
