Subsurface - an Open Source Divelog
===================================
-Subsurface is able to track multi-tank dives with air, Nitrox or
-TriMix. It keeps track of equipment like weights and exposure
-protection used, tracks the dice locations (if available including GPS
-fixes), dive masters and dive buddies and allows the user to rate
-dives and provide additional dive notes. It calculates a wide variety
-of statistics of the user's diving and calculates and tracks
-information like SAC rate, partial pressures of O2, N2 and H2,
-calculated deco information, and many more.
-
-Subsurface allows the user to print out a detailed log book including dive
-profiles and other relevant information. The program is localized in about
-a dozen languages and well supported by an active developer community.
