Total dives different from those shown in dive list

[Andrew]

Hey, I’ve recently noticed that the number underlined in red is different from the total shown in my dive list.

Over the years I’ve planned dives and accidentally saved them to my logbook, then later deleted them. However, when I export my entire dive log and open it in different software, those deleted dives still appear. Because I can’t see these dives in my normal dive list in Subsurface, I’m not sure how to remove them. I’m not sure if I’m explaining this clearly, but any help would be appreciated

The easiest way to address this would likely be if you sent me (di...@subsurface-divelog.org) an email directly FROM the address that you use to log into the Subsurface Cloud and give me permission to access your dive data.

Then I can go in and see what's actually in the dive log and why you see that discrepancy.

My first guess would be that you have two dives that aren't numbered, so the numbered ones run from 1 to 51, but there are two more dives with number 0.

Is it possible that you didn't delete them but marked them as 'invalid'? That way they wouldn't show when you look at your dive list, but they would still be 'there'.
