-------------
Subsurface is an open source divelog program that runs on Windows, Mac
and Linux. It was started because of a lack of viable divelog
software on Linux. It then turned out that the resulting software was
fairly easily ported to Windows and Mac and today great effort is put
into making it a viable application on all three platforms.
and Linux.
The program is under active development and at this point it compares
favorably to many other programs in this market.
With Subsurface the user can download dive information directly from a
large number of supported dive computers. Subsurface is able to track
single- and multi-tank dives using air, Nitrox or TriMix. It displays
a dive profile with all related information including air consumption
and alarms. It also allows logging of information like weights and
exposure protection used, dive masters and dive buddies and enables
the user to rate dives and provide additional dive notes.
With Subsurface the user can track dive locations including GPS
coordinates (which can also be conveniently entered using a map
interface). Subsurface calculates a wide variety of statistics of the
user's diving and keeps track of information like the user's SAC rate,
partial pressures of O2, N2 and He, calculated deco information, and
many more.
Subsurface allows the user to print out a detailed log book including
dive profiles and other relevant information. The program is localized
in more than a dozen languages and well supported by an active
developer community.
While the list of supported dive computers is very long, in this
manual the Suunto Vyper will be used for all examples.
