With Subsurface the user can download dive information directly from a
large number of supported dive computers. Subsurface is able to track
-multi-tank dives with air, Nitrox or TriMix, weights and exposure
-protection used, dive masters and dive buddies and allows the user to
-rate dives and provide additional dive notes. Subsurface also allows
-to track dive locations including GPS coordinates and offers a
-convenient map interface to enter these locations directly in the
-program. It calculates a wide variety of statistics of the user's
-diving and calculates and tracks information like the user's SAC rate,
+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

+One of the major strengths of Subsurface is its support of a wide range
+of dive computers (most common dive computers are supported, a
+detailed list is at
+http://subsurface.hohndel.org/documentation/supported-dive-computers).
+Subsurface can also import existing dive logs from several sources
+including MacDive, Suunto DM3, JDiveLog and divelogs.de. Another
+strength is its ability to visualize the depth profile (and, if
+available, the tank pressure curve) in very innovative ways that give
+the user additional information on relative velocity (and momentary
+air consumption) during the dive through the coloring of the graphs.

The latest public version is Subsurface 3.0, released in February of 2013.
