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>

<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

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>

Welcome as a user of _Subsurface_, advanced dive logging software with
extensive infrastructure to describe, organize, interpret and print scuba
and free dives. _Subsurface_ offers many advantages over other similar
software solutions, including compatibility with Windows, Mac-OS/X, Linux
(many distributions), Android and iOS. In addition, _Subsurface_ is
open-source software that allows downloading dive information from most dive
computers.

Présentation de Subsurface-mobile
---------------------------------
_Subsurface-mobile_ est une extension de _Subsurface_ qui fonctionne sur les
smartphones Android et iOS et sur les tablettes. C'est un outil pour
visualiser et partager des informations de plongées sur des sites de
plongées où un ordinateur n'est pas utile. _Subsurface-mobile_ permet
également de collecter des positions GPS où sont effectuées les
_Subsurface-mobile_ est une version mobile limitée de _Subsurface_ qui vise
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'est pas utile. Alors que la version de
_Subsurface_ pour ordinateur affiche bien plus d'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. _Subsurface-mobile_ 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).
_Subsurface-mobile_ allows you to enter and save dive information using a
mobile device. Users of _Subsurface-mobile_ typically use the mobile app as
an extension to the laptop/desktop version of _Subsurface_ that allows the
storage of dive logs on the Internet and sharing them between the mobile and
the desktop versions. But _Subsurface-mobile_ can also be used independently
of _Subsurface_ and does not require the use of cloud storage. While the
desktop version of _Subsurface_ 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.
Les utilisateurs de _Subsurface-mobile_ utilisent habituellement
l'application mobile en tant que compagnon de la version de _Subsurface_
pour ordinateur, partageant les informations de plongées entre les versions
mobile et de bureau. Cependant, _Subsurface-mobile_ peut également être
utilisée de façon indépendante de la version de bureau et ne requiert pas
l'utilisation du stockage cloud.
_Subsurface-mobile_ allows you to:
_Subsurface-mobile_ permet de :
- Download existing dive log information from the Internet.
- View this information on a mobile device.
- Edit many of the dive log data fields, e.g. divemaster, buddy, equipment or
notes about a dive.
- Manually create and add new dive records to your dive log.
- Download dive data directly from many dive computers.
- Store the updated dive log in the _Subsurface_ cloud storage.
- Record, store and apply GPS positions of dives (Android only).
- View the localities of recorded GPS positions and of dives on a map.
- Télécharger et stocker les informations de plongées en utilisant le cloud
_Subsurface_.
- Visualiser ces informations sur un périphérique nomade.
- Créer et ajouter manuellement de nouvelles plongées à votre carnet de
plongées.
- Télécharger des données de plongées directement depuis plusieurs ordinateurs
de plongées.
- Modifier de nombreux champs des données de plongées, comme le moniteur, le
binôme, l'équipement ou les notes relatives à la plongée.
- Enregistrer, stocker et appliquer des positions GPS des plongées (Uniquement
sous Android).
- Visualiser les positions des points GPS enregistrés et des plongées sur une
carte.
These items are discussed in greater detail in the following text.
_Subsurface-mobile_ does not yet support download of dive data from all the
dive computers that the desktop/laptop version can: that still needs to be
done using _Subsurface_ on a desktop or laptop computer. Only a subset of
dive computers that use a FTDI USB interface or a Bluetooth/BTLE interface
are accessible by _Subsurface-mobile_.
Ces points sont détaillés dans la suite du manuel. _Subsurface-mobile_ ne
supporte pas encore le téléchargement des données de plongées depuis tous
les ordinateurs de plongées que supporte la version de bureau. Seule une
partie des ordinateurs de plongées utilisant une interface USB FTDI ou une
interface Bluetooth/BTLE sont accessibles depuis _Subsurface-mobile_.
== Installing _Subsurface-mobile_ on your mobile device
== Installer _Subsurface-mobile_ sur votre périphérique nomade
Find _Subsurface-mobile_ in the _Google Play Store_ or the _iTunes Store_
and install it.
Vous trouverez _Subsurface-mobile_ dans _Google Play Store_ ou sur _iTunes
Store_ d'où vous pourrez les installer. Veuillez boter que les deux
contiennent également l'ancienne application '_Subsurface_ companion'
(utilisée uniquement pour enregistrer les points GPS). Vérifiez que vous
installez bien _Subsurface-mobile_.
== Using _Subsurface-mobile_ for the first time
== Utiliser _Subsurface-mobile_ pour la première fois
Upon starting _Subsurface-mobile_ for the first time, a Subsurface splash
screen is shown while the program loads. On some devices this may take
several seconds. After loading, the _Cloud Credentials screen_ appears (see
image below on left).
Lorsque vous exécutez _Subsurface-mobile_ pour la première fois, un écran
d'accueil Subsurface est affiché pendant le chargement. Sur certains
périphériques, cela peut prendre plusieurs secondes. Après le chargement,
l'_écran d'informations de connexion au cloud_ apparait (voir l'image
ci-dessous, à gauche).
Select whether _Subsurface-mobile_ should access the Internet for dive log
information as follows:

=== When NOT Using Cloud Storage
Tap the striked-out cloud icon. The app will not access the _Subsurface_
Tap the "No cloud mode" button. The app will not access the _Subsurface_
cloud storage server to obtain dive log information. This means that dive
log information is stored on the mobile device only.
log information is stored on the mobile device only. If no dives have been
entered into the dive log yet (the usual case), then a an empty dive log is
created.
=== Using Cloud Storage
In order to use the _Subsurface_ cloud storage, an account on the cloud
server is required. If you have already set up an account from the
_Subsurface_ desktop application, enter the credentials here.
A free Internet cloud storage account can be used for storing dive log
information. This cloud storage account can be created either from
_Subsurface_ on the desktop or _Subsurface-mobile_ using a mobile device; in
fact, you can do full maintenance of a dive log from _Subsurface-mobile_
alone. On the other hand, if you share credentials between
_Subsurface-mobile_ and _Subsurface_ for desktop, through the _Subsurface_
cloud storage your dive log can be shared by both devices.
You can also create a new cloud storage account from your mobile device.
==== Using the desktop version of _Subsurface_:
Open the desktop version of _Subsurface_ and
click _File -> Preferences -> Network_, explained in detail in the
https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/subsurface-4-user-manual/#\_create_a_cloud_storage_account[user
manual for the _Subsurface_ desktop version]. Once the account has
been created and verified using the desktop version,
_Subsurface_ desktop alows you to download dive information from dive computers and store this
on the cloud which can, in turn, be downloaded to _Subsurface-mobile_. _Subsurface-mobile_
attempts to download the existing dive log from the _Subsurface_ cloud
server. Appropriate messages are shown onscreen. Finally a list of dives is shown.
Once the dive list has been downloaded from the Internet,
_Subsurface-mobile_ keeps a local copy on the mobile device. This means that
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, _Subsurface-mobile_ 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.

==== Using _Subsurface-mobile_:
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'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.
Enter an e-mail address and a password in the fields indicated on the
screen. The e-mail should be in lower case and the password should contain
a combination of letters from the alphabet (upper and lower case) and/or
numbers. When entering a password, it is possible to check a checkbox that
enables the text of the password to be shown (image on left, above). At this
stage, the red message "Cannot connect to cloud storage" appears on the
screen. This is normal because a valid PIN has not yet been provided (image

contain a combination of letters from the alphabet (upper and lower case)
and/or numbers. Tap the "Sign-in or Register" button. If you have already
set up an account from the _Subsurface_ desktop application, enter the same

_Subsurface-mobile_ 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.
Tap the Disk (Save) icon at the bottom of the screen. A PIN is sent to the
e-mail address provided.
If this is a new account, a PIN screen will open (see image on right,
above). A PIN is e-mailed to the email address entered in the previous
step. Enter this PIN into the field indicated and tap the _Register_
button. The user information is stored on the cloud server and access to the
cloud is enabled. In this case the dive list is initially empty. Start
entering dives in the dive log or download dive information from a supported
dive computer.
Enter the PIN into the field indicated and tap the _Save_ icon again. The
user information is stored on the cloud server and access to the cloud is

The dive log can be updated automatically. If there is Internet
connectivity, _Subsurface-mobile_ accesses the cloud-based dive log to
verify that the local copy of the dive log is still the same as the log in
the cloud server. If not, the local copy and the copy on the server are
synchronized.
The dive list is initially empty. Start entering dives in the dive log or

First, establish a link between the dive computer and the mobile device.
For USB dive computers, USB cables "normally" used for uploading dives to a
desktop/laptop computer do NOT work: these cables often have a full-sized
male USB plug on one end which plugs into the USB port of a desktop/laptop
computer. For downloads to a mobile device one needs a USB OTG (USB
On-The-Go) cable. In most cases it is required to plug the USB cable
"normally" used with the dive computer into a USB OTG cable which, in turn,
plugs into the mini-USB receptacle of the mobile device. The OTG cable often
has a full-size female receptacle at one end which accommodates the
full-sized male plug of the USB cable "normally" used (see image
below). This means that two cables are used to connect the dive computer to
the mobile device.
