les smartphones Android et iOS et sur les tablettes, qui permet de
visualiser, entrer, partager et stocker des informations de plongées sur les
sites de plongées où un ordinateur n&#8217;est pas utile. Alors que la version de
<em>Subsurface</em> pour ordinateur affiche bien plus d&#8217;informations détaillées
pour chaque plongée, la version mobile permet un accès facilité lors sur un
voyage de plongées, utile pour prouver une experience de plongées aux clubs
ou pour revoir les plongées précédentes. <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> pour Android
permet également de collecter des positions GPS où sont effectuées les
plongées. (Subsurface-mobile pour iOS ne supporte pas toutes les fonctions
pour le moment).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface-mobile</em> allows you to enter and save dive information using a
mobile device. Users of <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> typically use the mobile app as
an extension to the laptop/desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em> that allows the
storage of dive logs on the Internet and sharing them between the mobile and
the desktop versions. But <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> can also be used independently
of <em>Subsurface</em> and does not require the use of cloud storage. While the
desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em> shows much more detailed information for
each dive, the mobile version allows a more accessible dive log on a dive
trip, useful for proving dive experience to dive shops or to review previous
dives.</p></div>

<a href="https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/subsurface-4-user-manual/#_create_a_cloud_storage_account">user
manual for the <em>Subsurface</em> desktop version</a>. Once the account has
been created and verified using the desktop version,
<em>Subsurface</em> desktop alows you to download dive information from dive computers and store this
on the cloud which can, in turn, be downloaded to <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>. <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>
attempts to download the existing dive log from the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud
server. Appropriate messages are shown onscreen. Finally a list of dives is shown.</p></div>

even if there is no Internet connection at a dive site, you can still access
the local copy and view and manipulate dive information. If there is
Internet connectivity, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> accesses the cloud-based dive log
to verify that the local copy is still the same as the Internet-stored
copy. If not, the local copy and the copy on the server are synchronised.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>A free Internet cloud storage account can be used for storing dive log
information. This cloud storage account can be created either from
<em>Subsurface</em> on the desktop or <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> using a mobile device; in
fact, you can do full maintenance of a dive log from <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>
alone. On the other hand, if you share credentials between
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> and <em>Subsurface</em> for desktop, through the <em>Subsurface</em>
cloud storage your dive log can be shared by both devices.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The dive data are cached both on the mobile device as well as on the desktop
- it is easy to create backups of the data (for example in XML format) on
the desktop, and both mobile device and desktop keep a local copy of the
data so that the dive log is always accessible, even without Internet
connection. The Subsurface team never accesses a user&#8217;s dive data without
explicit permission to do so, the data are not used for any purpose other
than providing them to the user who created them. There are no ads and no
harvesting / analysis of the data stored in the Subsurface cloud storage.</p></div>

<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> usually works only with the the local copy on the mobile
device. This avoids long delays or even failure of operations if there is a
bad (or no) internet connection, a situation fairly common at many dive
sites.</p></div>
