<div class="paragraph"><p><span class="blue"><em>Version 1.1, Septembre 2016</em></span></p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Welcome as a user of <em>Subsurface</em>, advanced dive logging software with
extensive infrastructure to describe, organize, interpret and print scuba
and free dives. <em>Subsurface</em> offers many advantages over other similar
software solutions, including compatibility with Windows, Mac-OS/X, Linux
(many distributions), Android and iOS. In addition, <em>Subsurface</em> is
open-source software that allows downloading dive information from most dive
computers.</p></div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_présentation_de_subsurface_mobile">1. Présentation de Subsurface-mobile</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface-mobile</em> est une extension de <em>Subsurface</em> qui fonctionne sur les
smartphones et les tablettes Android et c’est un outil pour visualiser et
partager des informations de plongées sur des sites de plongées où un
ordinateur n’est pas utile. <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> permet également de
collecter des positions GPS où sont effectuées les
plongées. (Subsurface-mobile pour iOS ne supporte pas les fonctions GPS pour
le moment).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface-mobile</em> allows you to enter and save dive information using a
mobile device. Most users of <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> typically use the mobile
app as an extension to the laptop/desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em>. This
allows the storage of dive logs on the Internet sharing them between the
mobile and the desktop versions. But <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> can be used
independently of <em>Subsurface</em> and does not require the use of cloud
storage. While the desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em> shows much more detailed
information for each dive, the mobile version allows a more accessible dive
log on a dive trip, useful for proving dive experience to dive shops or to
review previous dives.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface-mobile</em> allows you to:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
Download existing dive log information from the Internet.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
View this information on a mobile device.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Edit many of the dive log data fields, e.g. divemaster, buddy, equipment or
notes about a dive.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Manually create and add new dive records to your dive log.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Store the updated dive log in the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud storage.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Record, store and apply GPS positions of dives (Android only).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
View the localities of recorded GPS positions and of dives on a map.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>These items are discussed in greater detail in the following text. What
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> does not support (at this time) is downloading dive data
directly from a dive computer. That still needs to be done using
<em>Subsurface</em> on a desktop or laptop computer. We are investigating ways to
support downloading from a subset of the supported dive computers on Android
devices, but this is not yet ready for testing.</p></div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_using_em_subsurface_mobile_em_for_the_first_time">3. Using <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> for the first time</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Upon starting <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> for the first time, a Subsurface splash
screen is shown while the program loads. On some devices this may take
several seconds. After loading, the <em>Cloud Credentials screen</em> appears (see
image below on left).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Select whether <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> should access the Internet for dive log
information.</p></div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_when_not_using_cloud_storage">3.1. When NOT Using Cloud Storage</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tap the striked-out cloud icon. The app will not access the <em>Subsurface</em>
cloud storage server to obtain dive log information. This means that dive
log information is manually entered and stored on the mobile device only.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_using_cloud_storage">3.2. Using Cloud Storage</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to use the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud storage, an account on the cloud
server is required. If you have already set up an account from the
<em>Subsurface</em> desktop application, enter the credentials here.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can also create a new account from your mobile device.</p></div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_using_the_desktop_version_of_em_subsurface_em">3.2.1. Using the desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em>:</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Open the desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em> and
click <em>File → Preferences → Network</em>, explained in detail in the
<a href="https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/subsurface-4-user-manual/#_create_a_cloud_storage_account">user
manual for the <em>Subsurface</em> desktop version</a>. Once the account has
been created and verified using the desktop version,
<em>Subsurface</em> desktop alows you to download dive information from dive computers and store this
on the cloud which can, in turn, be downloaded to <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>. <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>
attempts to download the existing dive log from the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud
server. Appropriate messages are shown onscreen. Finally a list of dives is shown.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Once the dive list has been downloaded from the Internet,
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> keeps a local copy on the mobile device. This means that
even if there is no Internet connection at a dive site, you can still access
the local copy and view and manipulate dive information. If there is
Internet connectivity, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> accesses the cloud-based dive log
to verify that the local copy is still the same as the Internet-stored
copy. If not, the local copy and the copy on the server are synchronised.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>Enter an e-mail address and a password in the fields indicated on the
screen. The e-mail should be in lower case and the password should contain
a combination of letters from the alphabet (upper and lower case) and/or
numbers. When entering a password, it is possible to check a checkbox that
enables the text of the password to be shown (image on left, above). At this
stage, the red message "Cannot connect to cloud storage" appears on the
screen. This is normal because a valid PIN has not yet been provided (image
on left, above).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tap the Disk (Save) icon at the bottom of the screen. A PIN is sent to the

<h2 id="_a_few_remarks_about_the_user_interface">4. A Few Remarks About The User Interface</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>At the bottom of many Subsurface-mobile screens is a round button that
provides for several actions and which allows the selection of the main
affirmative action (see image above and image below). On Android devices,
use the Android Back button for "cancel", "discard" or "back" actions. For
example, when editing dive information, tapping the action button saves the
changes while the Android back button can be used to cancel the edit without
saving changes.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>On iOS devices, on screens where a "back" action is enabled, a back arrow is
shown in the top left corner of the screen.</p></div>
<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
<div class="content">
<img src="mobile-images/actionbutton.jpg" alt="FIGURE: Action Button" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to have a consistent experience between iOS and Android,
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> on Android does not use the traditional "hamburger" menu
button in the top left or right corner of the screen to open menus.
Instead, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> uses a different user interaction philosophy
based on the Kirigami framework developed by the Plasma developers. There
are three ways to open the main menu:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
Tap the "hamburger" symbol in the lower left corner of the screen (easy to
reach for hand held devices)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Swipe towards the right across the left edge of the screen
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Drag the action button visible on most screens to the right
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
<div class="content">
<img src="mobile-images/menu.jpg" alt="FIGURE: Dive management subpanel" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The images above indicate some of the important features of the menu
system. On the left is the main menu that is activated as described
above. In the middle is the menu that opens if you tap the <em>GPS</em> option on
the main menu. On the right is the menu that opens if you tap the <em>Manage
Dives</em> option on the main menu.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>All screenshots in this user manual are currently from the Android
version. As indicated earlier, the iOS version currently doesn’t support
<em>GPS</em> features.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_viewing_the_dive_list">5. Viewing the Dive List</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Most of the actions of <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> center around the dives on the
dive list. While the dive list is loading from the cloud, a message appears
at the bottom of the screen, indicating that the cloud is being accessed
(see image on left, below). Once the list is loaded you can scroll up and
down. Tapping a dive on the list brings up a display of <em>Details View</em> for
that dive (see image on right below). This includes the dive profile as
well as additional information and notes.</p></div>
<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
<div class="content">
<img src="mobile-images/DiveList.jpg" alt="FIGURE: Dive list screen" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can view other dives by swiping the <em>Details view</em> to the right (for the
previous dive) or to the left (following dive). Using the Action Bar, it is
also possible to delete the dive (tap the dustbin on the Action Bar) or to
view the dive location on a map viewer (Google Maps on Android, the Google
Maps web site on iOS; tap the GPS icon on the Action Bar.).</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_editing_dive_details">6. Editing dive details</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>At the bottom of the dive details screen the <em>Action Button</em> contains a
pencil (image on right, above). Tapping the pencil button brings up a panel
with edit boxes that allows you to change the existing dive information,
e.g. adding text to the dive notes or changing the names or values of some
of the information (see image below). It may be necessary to scroll the
window to access all the information. At the bottom of the edit screen is a
<em>Save</em> action button. Tap this to save the new information. Having saved the
data, the dive list screen is updated and shown. To cancel any edits, tap
the Android Back Button or swipe the edit screen up (fling it away).</p></div>

<h2 id="_adding_a_new_dive_to_the_dive_list">7. Adding a new dive to the dive list</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can manually add a dive to the existing dive list. On the dive list tap
the "plus" sign in the <em>Action Button</em>, or use the main menu and tap <em>Manage
dives → Add dive manually</em>. This opens a screen that is identical to the
editing screen discussed above. When a dive is added manually, you cannot
directly add a dive profile from a dive computer. However, if you do not use
a dive computer, the duration, depth and several other bits of information
about the new dive can be entered. The <em>Action button</em> at the bottom of the
screen contains a disk symbol. Tap this to save the new dive. To cancel any
edits, tap the Android Back Button. The left-hand image below shows a
screenshot of a dive being created and the right-hand image shows the same
dive in <em>Details View</em>.</p></div>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>Details View</em> of a dive has an Action Bar, including a dustbin. If this
is tapped, the dive shown in the <em>Details View</em> is deleted. You have a brief
opportunity to undo the delete by tapping the grey <em>Undo</em> button in the
message that appears at the bottom of the screen (see image below).</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>You can also delete a dive from the dive list by long-pressing a specific
dive until a red dustbin appears on the right-hand side (see image
below). Tap the dustbin. The dive is deleted without asking any confirmation
because <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> assumes that the combination of a long tap on
the dive with another tap on the red dustbin is an unambiguous instruction
to delete the dive.</p></div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_dive_log_management">9. Dive log management</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>A central part of <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> is the ability to store the dive log
using the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud storage. This provides security against loss
or damage to the dive information contained in a local copy of the dive log
and allows the desktop version of <em>Subsurface</em> to access changes made using
the mobile device. This ability is accessed through the main menu (by
dragging the Action Button to the right, or alternatively tappping the
"Hamburger" icon at the bottom left of the screen). Tap the option <em>Manage
dives</em>, enabling a number of options:</p></div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_add_new_dive_manually">9.1. Add new dive manually</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This is described above under the section dealing with the dive list.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_sync_the_dive_log_with_the_em_subsurface_em_cloud_storage">9.2. Sync the dive log with the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud storage</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can upload the dives contained on the mobile device to the <em>Subsurface</em>
cloud storage by tapping the option <em>Manual sync with coud</em>. This
synchronizes the local changes to the dive log with the cloud storage. It
also downloads changes made on another device or computer and stored in
cloud storage.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_working_offline_or_online">9.3. Working offline or online</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>By default <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> runs offline and only syncs the dive list
with cloud storage when explicily told to do so (see above). You can choose
to always sync with the cloud servers after every modification of the dive
list. This is not recommended unless you are in an area with fast and
reliable internet connection, as otherwise <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> might appear
to hang between operations as it tries to connect to the cloud server.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_changing_the_login_credentials_on_the_em_subsurface_em_cloud">9.4. Changing the login credentials on the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If you need to change your login credentials (for example to work with
multiple accounts) you can open the main menu and tap <em>Cloud
credentials</em>. This opens the setup screen for specifying new credentials.</p></div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_recording_dive_locations_using_gps_android_only">10. Recording dive locations using GPS (Android only).</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The fact that most smartphones have GPS facilities allows
<em>Subsurface-mobile</em> on Android to record the locations of dives. You can
take the smartphone on the dive boat during a dive and locations will be
automatically recorded at regular intervals. These locations can then be
applied to dives in the dive list. Here is how it’s done:</p></div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_setting_up_the_gps">10.1. Setting up the GPS</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Open the main menu and tap <em>GPS → Preferences</em>. Now specify the way in
which GPS data need to be automatically collected (image on right,
below). You can specify that data are collected at regular intervals, e.g.
every 10 minutes, or at regular distances, e.g. after the boat has moved
more than 200m, or a combination of both of the above approaches. Provide
the appropriate information and tap the <em>Save</em> action button. The program is
now ready to collect GPS positions.</p></div>
<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
<div class="content">
<img src="mobile-images/gpssetup.jpg" alt="FIGURE: GPS setup screen" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_collecting_gps_positions">10.2. Collecting GPS positions</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Ensure that the GPS on the Android device has been activated. At the bottom
of the GPS submenu is a check box <em>Run location service</em> (image on left,
above). Check this box and <em>Subsurface-mobile</em> starts to collect GPS
locations automatically, following the preferences specified as described
above. After return from the dive trip you can deactivate the collection of
GPS data by de-activating the same check box at the bottom of the main menu.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_storing_the_gps_data_on_the_em_subsurface_em_cloud">10.3. Storing the GPS data on the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Activate the main menu and select the <em>GPS</em> option that brings up the
submenu of GPS-related actions (image on left, above). Tap <em>Upload GPS data</em>
that saves the GPS data on the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud server. These GPS data are
saved <strong>separately</strong> from the other dive log data. All collected GPS data are
kept on the Android device, independent of whether they have been uploaded
or not.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_downloading_gps_data_from_the_em_subsurface_em_cloud">10.4. Downloading GPS data from the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Download the GPS data that have been saved on the cloud (possibly by a
different device) by selecting <em>Download GPS Data</em> from the GPS subpanel.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_viewing_gps_data">10.5. Viewing GPS data</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>From the GPS submenu (image on left, above) select <em>Show GPS fixes</em>. This
brings up a list of GPS positions obtained using the location service (image
on left, below). Two actions are possible for each of the locations, enabled
if you tap the handle (the three horisontal stripes on the right, see image
on left, below) and then drags the specific item to the left (image on
right, below). This exposes two options. Tapping the dustbin deletes this
particular GPS location. Tapping the teardrop-shaped icon (actually a Google
Maps pin) opens up Google Maps with a pin indicating the exact map position
of the GPS record being viewed. The two above options can be hidden by
drawing the GPS record to the right, again using the handle.</p></div>

<h3 id="_applying_gps_data_to_dives_in_the_dive_log">10.6. Applying GPS data to dives in the dive log</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Assuming that all the dives have been entered into the dive log or have been
downloaded from the <em>Subsurface</em> cloud, you can apply the GPS positions to
these dives. GPS positions can therefore only be applied to dives in the
dive list. From the GPS subpanel, tap <em>GPS-tag dives</em>. The dive list
contains the start and end times of each dive. Now, <em>Subsurface-mobile</em>
applies the first GPS position that falls within the dive period of each
dive. This results in a GPS position for each dive that is saved as part of
the dive log.</p></div>
