Subsurface for Linux

Manage and display dive computer data

Overview

Subsurface is a dive logging tool designed to help users manage and view data from dive computers.

It works on Linux, as well as Windows and Mac, making it a versatile option for divers who use different operating systems.

This software is especially useful for those who want to keep detailed records of their dives.

With Subsurface, users can log dive details such as GPS dive locations, the weights and exposure protection used, as well as the people involved in the dive, like divemasters and buddies.

The program also allows users to rate their dives and add personal notes.

Dive data can be added manually, imported from other programs, or downloaded directly from many types of dive computers.

The software calculates and shows many important dive statistics.

These include the user’s Surface Air Consumption (SAC) rate, partial pressures of oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), and helium (He), and decompression information.

Users can see dive profiles and tank pressure curves displayed clearly, helping them understand things like how fast they used their air at different points during the dive.

Subsurface lets users print detailed dive log books, which include dive profiles and other key information.

While Subsurface supports several platforms and offers strong logging and visualization features, it has limited information about working with newer or less common dive computers.

It also doesn’t mention mobile or cloud syncing capabilities, which might be important for some users.

The app does not specify categories, which can make it harder to find in some software listings.

Still, it is available in about 20 languages and has an active community of developers supporting it, making it a reliable choice for divers using Linux and other platforms.
