+<h2 id="S_StartUsing">1. Start Using the Program</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>Subsurface</em> window is usually divided into four panels and has a <strong>Main
+Menu</strong> (File Import Log View Filter Help) at the top of the window (for Windows
+and Linux) or the top of the screen (for Mac and Ubuntu Unity). The screen shots
+in this manual were taken on an Ubuntu system, so they don’t show the main menu
+as part of the <em>Subsurface</em> window. The four panels are:</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>1) The <strong>Dive List</strong> to the bottom left containing a list of all the dives in your
+dive log. You can select and highlight a dive on the dive list by clicking on
+it. In most situations you can also use the cursor up/down keys to switch
+between dives.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>2) The <strong>Dive Map</strong> to the bottom right, showing your dive sites on a world map
+and centred on the site of the last selected dive.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>3) The <strong>Dive Info</strong> to the top left, giving more detailed information on the
+selected dive, including some statistics for the selected dive or for all
+highlighted dive(s).</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>4) The <strong>Dive Profile</strong> to the top right, showing a graphical profile of the
+highlighted dive in the dive list.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>You can drag the dividers between panels in order to change the size of any of
+the panels. <em>Subsurface</em> remembers the position of the dividers, so the next
+time <em>Subsurface</em> starts it uses the positions of the dividers when the program
+was executed previously.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>If one dive is selected, the dive location, detailed information and profile of
+the <em>selected dive</em> are shown in the respective panels. On the other hand, if
+one highlights more than one dive the last highlighted dive is the <em>selected
+dive</em>, but summary data of all <em>highlighted dives</em> is shown in the <strong>Stats</strong> tab
+of the <strong>Dive Info</strong> panel.</p></div>
+<div class="imageblock" id="S_ViewPanels" style="text-align:center;">
+<div class="content">
+<img src="images/main_window.jpg" alt="The Main Window" />
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>You can determine which of the four panels you wish to see by selecting the
+<strong>View</strong> option on the main menu and which gives the user several choices of
+display:</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>All</strong>: show all four of the panels as in the screenshot above.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Divelist</strong>: Show only the Dive List.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Profile</strong>: Show only the Dive Profile of the selected dive.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Info</strong>: Show only the Dive Notes about the last selected dive and statistics for
+all highlighted dives.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Globe</strong>: Show only the world map, centred on the last selected dive.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Like many other functions that can be accessed via the Main Menu, these options
+can be triggered using keyboard shortcuts as well. The shortcuts for your system
+are shown with an underline in the menu entries. Since different Operating
+Systems and your chosen language may cause <em>Subsurface</em> to use different
+shortcut keys we won’t try to list them here in the user manual.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>When you start the program for the first time, it shows no information at all.
+This is because the program doesn’t have any dive information available. In the
+following sections we will describe how to create a new logbook.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="S_NewLogbook">2. Creating a new logbook</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Select <em>File → New Logbook</em> from the main menu. All existing dive data are
+cleared so that new information can be added. If there is unsaved data in an open
+logbook, <em>Subsurface</em> will ask you if you want to save the open logbook before
+a new logbook is created.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="S_GetInformation">3. How to obtain dive information to store in your logbook</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>There are several ways to add dive information to your logbook:</p></div>
+<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
+<li>
+<p>
+Enter dive information by hand. This is typically useful if the diver did not
+use a dive computer and dives were recorded in a written logbook.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Import dive information directly from a dive computer if it is supported by
+<em>Subsurface</em>. The latest list of dive computers supported by <em>Subsurface</em> can
+be found at:
+<a href="http://subsurface.hohndel.org/documentation/supported-dive-computers/">Supported dive computers</a>.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Import dive information from another data base or file format. This is
+discussed in more detail below.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ol></div>
+<div class="sect2">
+<h3 id="S_EnterData">3.1. Entering dive information by hand</h3>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>This is usually the approach for dives without a dive computer. The basic record
+of information within <em>Subsurface</em> is a dive. The most important information
+in a simple written dive logbook usually includes dive type, date, time,
+duration, depth, the names of your dive buddy and of the dive master or dive guide,
+and some remarks about the dive. <em>Subsurface</em> can store much more information
+than this for each dive. In order to add a dive to your dive log, select <em>Log
+→ Add Dive</em> from the Main Menu. The program then shows three panels to enter
+information for a dive: two tabs in the <strong>Info</strong> panel (<strong>Dive Notes</strong> and
+<strong>Equipment</strong>), as well as the <strong>profile</strong> panel that displays a graphical profile of
+each dive. These panels are respectively marked <span class="red">A</span>, <span class="red">B</span> and <span class="red">C</span>
+in the figure below. We will now consider each of the tabs used for data entry.</p></div>
+<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
+<div class="content">
+<img src="images/AddDive1.jpg" alt="FIGURE: Add dive" />
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect3">
+<h4 id="_dive_notes">3.1.1. Dive Notes</h4>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>This panel contains the date, time and place information for a particular dive,
+environmental conditions, co-divers and buddies, as well as some descriptive
+information. The message in a blue box at the top of the panel indicates that
+you are in the process of adding information about your dive. If you click on
+the <strong>Dive Notes</strong> tab, the following fields are visible:</p></div>
+<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
+<div class="content">
+<img src="images/AddDive2.jpg" alt="FIGURE: The Dive Notes tab" />
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The <strong>Starttime</strong> field reflects the date and the time of the dive. By clicking
+the down-arrow on the right of that field you can display a calendar from which
+you can choose the correct date. The hour and minutes values can also be edited
+by clicking on each of them in the text box and by overtyping the information
+displayed.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Air and water temperatures</strong>: Type in the air and water temperatures during the
+dive into these fields to the right of the Starttime. You do not need to type
+in units of temperature: Subsurface supplies these automatically, you only need
+type the number. (The units selected in the <em>Preferences</em> <span class="red"><a id="URL link"></a></span>
+will determine whether metric or imperial units are displayed)</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Location</strong>: Here you enter the name of the dive site, e.g. "Tihany, Lake Balaton,
+Hungary". Auto completion of location names will make this easier when you
+frequently dive at the same sites.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Coordinates</strong>: The geographic coordinates of the dive site should be entered
+here. These can come from three sources:</p></div>
+<div class="olist loweralpha"><ol class="loweralpha">
+<li>
+<p>
+You can enter the coordinates by hand if you happen to know what they are.
+You need to enter them as decimal degrees, e.g: N30° 13.49760' , E30° 49.30788'.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+You can find the coordinates on the world map in the bottom right hand part
+of the Subsurface window. The map displays a green bar indicating "No location
+data - move the map and double-click to set the location". Upon a double-click
+at the appropriate place, the green bar disappears and the coordinates are
+stored.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>

+have to type all information by hand into <em>Subsurface</em>, because you can probably
+import your divelog. <em>Subsurface</em> will import divelogs from a range of other
+dive log software. Some software is supported natively (e.g. divelogs.de,
+JDiveLog, MacDive, and Suunto DM4), for others you have to export your logbook
+to XML and then <em>Subsurface</em> can import that XML file (Suunto DM3, DivingLog).
+<em>Subsurface</em> can also import UDDF and UDCF files that are used by some divelog
+software and even some divecomputers like the Heinrichs & Weikamp DR5. Finally,
+for some divelog software we currently suggest to import your logbook first
+into a webservice like <em>divelogs.de</em> and then import them from there with
+<em>Subsurface</em>, as divelogs.de supports a few additional logbook formats that
+<em>Subsurface</em> currently cannot parse.</p></div>

+Thus you should see the depth of the deepest point and other peaks. Mean depth
+is marked with a horizontal red line.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The <strong>air consumption</strong> graph displays the tank pressure and its change during the
+dive. The air consumption takes depth into account so that even when manually
+entering the start and end pressures the graph is not a straight line.
+Similarly to the depth graph the tank pressure gives you information about the
+momentary SAC rate (Surface Air Consumption – often also called RMV – Respiratory
+Minute Volume) when using an air integrated dive computer. Here the colour
+coding is not relative to some absolute values but relative to the average
+normalised air consumption during the dive. So areas that are red or orange indicate
+times of increased normalized air consumption while dark green reflects times
+when the diver was using less gas than average. The colour coding is obviously
+only possible when a tank sensor is connected and tank pressure readings during
+the dive are available.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Water temperature</strong> is displayed with its own blue line with temperature values

+<div class="paragraph"><p>It is possible to <strong>zoom</strong> into the profile graph. This is done either by using
+the scroll wheel / scroll gesture of your mouse or trackpad. By default
+<em>Subsurface</em> always shows a profile area large enough for at least 30 minutes and 30m
+ (100ft) – this way short or shallow dives are intuitively recognizable; something
+that free divers clearly won’t care about.</p></div>

+<div class="paragraph"><p>Measurements of <strong>depth differences</strong> can be achieved by using the button with
+two vertical bars at the right of the dive profile panel (see above figure,
+bottom right). Drag the red dots to the two points on the dive profile which
+you would like to measure. Information is given along the line connecting the
+two red dots.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The dive profile can include further information that is typically more
+interesting for tec divers. Enabling these is described in the section entitled
+Setting up Preferences. Basically you can include graphs of the <strong>partial pressures</strong>
+of O2, N2, and He during the dive as well as a calculated and dive computer
+reported deco ceilings (only visible for deep, long, or repetitive dives). The
+partial pressure graphs are added below the profile data, the calculated ceiling
+is shown as a green overlay on top of the dive profile. Above the profile the
+currently used gradient factors are shown (e.g. GF 35/75). Please note that
+these are NOT the gradient factors in use by the dive computer in question,
+but the gradient factors used by <em>Subsurface</em> to calculate deco obligations
+during the dive.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The graph can also include the dive computer reported <strong>ceiling</strong> (or more
+precisely, the first deco stop that the dive computer recorded – note that not
+all dive computers record this information and make it available for download;
+for example all of the Suunto dive computers fail to make this very useful data
+available to divelog software). Because of the differences in used algorithms
+and amount of data available (and factors taken into consideration) at the time
+of the calculation it is unlikely that both of these are the same; this can be
+true even if the same algorithm and <em>gradient factors</em> (see below) are used.
+It is also quite common that <em>Subsurface</em> calculates a ceiling for
+non-decompression dives when the dive computer stayed in non-deco mode during
+the whole dive (represented by the <span class="green">dark green</span> section in the profile
+at the beginning of this section). This is caused by the fact that <em>Subsurface’s</em>
+calculations describe the deco obligation at that point in time during a dive,
+while dive computers usually take the upcoming ascent into account. During the
+ascent some excess Nitrogen (and possibly Helium) are already breathed off so even
+though the diver technically encountered a ceiling at depth, the dive still does
+not require an explicit deco stop. This feature allows dive computers to offer
+longer non-stop bottom time.</p></div>

+Profile</strong> panel. If the mouse points outside of the <strong>Dive Profile</strong> panel, then
+only the top line of the Information Box is visible (see left-hand part of
+figure (A) below). The Information Box can be moved around in the <strong>Dive Profile</strong>

+the dive profile indicated by the mouse (see right-hand part of figure (B) above
+where the Information Box reflects the situation at the position of the cursor
+[arrow] in that image). Therefore, moving the cursor in the horizontal
+direction allows the Information Box to show information for any point along the

+In this mode, the Information Box gives extensive statistics about depth, gas
+and ceiling characteristics of the particular dive. These include: Time period
+into the dive (indicated by a @), depth, cylinder pressure (P), temperature,
+ascent/descent rate, surface air consumption (SAC), oxygen partial pressure,
+maximum operating depth, effective air depth (EAD), effective narcotic depth
+(END), equivalent air density depth (EADD), decompression requirements at that

+your dive. If you dive breathing nitrox, then you can select a graph of both the
+nitrogen and oxygen pressures during your dive. If you dive with trimix or
+heliox, you can select the display of the helium pressure as well. For each of

+Ceiling: Ascent ceilings arise when a direct ascent to the surface exposes

+slower or to perform decompression stop(s) before ascending to the surface.
+<em>Subsurface</em> can indicate these ceilings above which the diver should not ascend
+at a particular point in time (see the green-shaded areas in the figure in the
+section on <a href="#S_DiveProfile">Dive Profiles</a>) and in the figure below:
+</p>

+<strong>Misc</strong>: Here you can set the <em>gradient factors</em> used while diving. GF_Low is
+the gradient factor at deep depths and GF_High is used just below the surface.
+At intermediate depths gradient factors between GF_Low and GF_High are used.
+Gradient factors add conservatism to the nitrogen exposure during a dive, in a
+similar way that many dive computers have a conservatism setting. The lower
+the value of a gradient factor, the more conservative the calculations are with
+respect to nitrogen loading and the deeper the ascent ceilings are. Gradient
+factors of 25/60 are considered conservative and values of 60/90 are considered
+harsh. Checking <strong>GFLow at max depth</strong> box causes GF_Low to be used at the
+deepest depth of a dive. For more information see:
