<div class="paragraph"><p>Welcome as a user of <em>Subsurface</em>, an advanced dive logging program with
|
|
extensive infrastructure to describe, organize, interpret and print scuba
|
|
and free dives. <em>Subsurface</em> offers many advantages over other similar
|
|
software solutions, including compatibility with Windows, Mac-OS/X, Linux (many
|
|
distributions) as well as Android. In addition, <em>Subsurface</em> allows downloading dive
|
|
information from most dive computers. <em>Subsurface</em> software is open-source.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface-mobile</em> is an extension of <em>Subsurface</em> that runs on laptop and
|
|
tabletop computers. It runs on Android smartphone and tablet devices and is a
|
|
tool for viewing or sharing dive information at dive sites. It also allows
|
|
the gathering of GPS locations where dives are performed.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>While <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> allows one to enter and save dive information
|
|
using an Android device, users of <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> typically use the
|
|
mobile app as an extension of the laptop/desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em>.
|
|
This allows the storage of dive logs on the Internet and which
|
|
can be shared by the Android version as well as the desktop version.
|
|
While the desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em> shows much more detailed information
|
|
for each dive, the mobile version allows one to have a more accessible dive log
|
|
on a dive trip, useful for proving dive experience to dive shops or to review
|
|

and password for access to the <em>Subsurface</em> Internet storage server. If
|

you do not have credentials to log in, this is obtained through the

desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em>. When entering a password, it is possible to check
|

a checkbox that enables the text of the password to be shown. Checking the

at a dive site, one can still access the local copy and view and manipulate

|
dive information. If there is Internet connectivity, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> accesses

the Internet-based dive log to verify that the local copy is still the
