+== Download dives from a dive computer
+
+Download of dives is possible from dive computers with a FTDI USB interface,
+or with a Bluetooth interface.
+
+First, establish a link between the dive computer and the mobile device.
+
+For USB dive computers, USB cables "normally" used for uploading dives to a
+desktop/laptop computer do NOT work: these cables often have a full-sized
+male USB plug on one end which plugs into the USB port of a desktop/laptop
+computer. For downloads to a mobile device one needs a USB OTG (USB
+On-The-Go) cable. In most cases it is required to plug the USB cable
+"normally" used with the dive computer into a USB OTG cable which, in turn,
+plugs into the mini-USB receptacle of the mobile device. The OTG cable often
+has a full-size female receptacle at one end which accommodates the
+full-sized male plug of the USB cable "normally" used (see image
+below). This means that two cables are used to connect the dive computer to
+the mobile device.
+
+image::mobile-images/USB-OTG.jpg["FIGURE: USB-OTG cable", align="center"]
+
+For Bluetooth-equipped dive computers, establish a Bluetooth connection
+between the dive computer and the mobile device. Use the tools on the mobile
+device to achieve this. For of Android mobile devices, the Settings ->
+Bluetooth tool is probably appropriate. Ensure pairing of the dive computer
+and mobile device. _Subsurface-mobile_ performs communication using both
+Bluetooth and Bluetooth-low-energy (BTLE). The appropriate choice of
+Bluetooth communication is made by the software and the user need not be
+concerned with this.
+
+With propper communication between dive computer and _Subsurface-mobile_
+having been set up, dive download is simple. From the main menu, tap
+_Manage dives -> Download from DC_. A screen is shown requiring that the
+user specify the names of the vendor and model of the dive computer. For
+instance, when using a Shearwater Petrel 2 dive computer, the vendor is
+_Shearwater_ and the Dive computer name is _Petrel 2_. From the two dropdown
+lists at the top of the screen, select the correct vendor and dive computer
+names (see image on the left, below). If using a dive computer using a
+Bluetooth connection, then tap the check box labelled _Bluetooth download_.
+
+Now tap the button labled _DOWNLOAD_. The downloaded dives appear in the
+bottom part of the screen, the most recent dive at the top (see image on
+right, below). Be patient because the download can sometimes take a few
+mimnutes. Each dive has a check-box on the left hand side, used for
+selecting which dives need to be added to the _Subsurface-mobile_ dive list:
+dives that are not checked are ignored. With the appropriate downloaded
+dives having been checked, tap the button at the bottom left labled
+_ACCEPT_. All the selected dives appear on the _Subsurface-mobile_ dive
+list. The downloaded dive information can now be edited as described in the
+section above xref:S_Edit_Dive[Edit a dive].

+== Viewing the dive location on Google Maps

+The site of a specific dive can be viewed in two ways using the _Details
+View_. The Action Bar at the bottom has a GPS pin on the left hand
+side. Tap that pin and the dive site is shown in Google Maps. Close Google
+Maps by using the Android _Back_ button.
