How to log Surface Supplied dives and Mixed Gas Rebreather Dives

[Stephen Reimers]

Anyone out there logging surface-supplied air dives, surface-supplied mixed gas dives, or closed circuit rebreather dives? I'm wondering how to log these, since none have what we'd consider a "dive cylinder". Is there any way to add additional modes to the "Dive mode" on the Information tab for the dive?

You can set the dive mode to CCR and, if you wish to, log your O2 and diluent cylinders (Subsurface will assume that you drain them at a constant and not depth dependent rate). Surface supplied diving did not occur so far. Am I right to assume that for those you have no information about how much gas you used? I would just add a cylinder with name "Atmosphere" and simply leave the start and end pressure fields empty. What is the information you are thinking about logging in that case?

Robert,

That's what i did when i did some surface supplied dives, i called my cylinder 'Surface supply' but effectively the same thing.

Robert, for the mixed gas CCR, that will work. I wasn't sure if I could relabel the cylinder to something without a number in it, but I guess I can, so calling it SSDS would work fine.

Jason, I agree, this will work. Thanks for your comment.
