dive computers of the same model, the logs of both (or all) being uploaded.
In this case it might be prudent to call one of them
-"Suunto D4 (1)" and another "Suunto D4 (2)". This is easily done in _Subsurface_.
-On the *Main Menu*, select _Log -> Edit device names_. A dialog box opens, showing the

+To achieve this, display a dive downloaded from this dive computer, right click on its name
