=== Entering dive information by hand
-This is usually the approach for dives without a dive computer. The basic record of information within _subsurface_ is a dive. The most important information in a simple written dive logbook includes dive type, date, time, duration of dive, depth of dive, name of buddy and of dive master and some remarks about the dive. _subsurface_ can store much more information than this for each dive. In order to add a dive to your dive log, click on _Log -> Add Dive_. The program then shows three panels to enter information for a dive: two tabs in the *Info* panel (*Dive Notes* and *Equipment*), as well as the *profile* panel that displays a graphical profile of each dive. These panels are respectively marked [red]#A#, [red]#B# and [red]#C# in the figure below. We will now consider each of the tabs used for data entry.
