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.
