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'.

Hi,

I have the same issue, 699 dives in total according to  SubSurface but only 685 in the list.

How can I see those 14 missing dives or delete them ?

Cheers,

 Paul

Based on Andrew's screenshot, I'm pretty sure he just has two hidden dives that were marked as invalid at some point.

     Preferences -> Dive Log -> Show dives you have marked as invalid

If he had his dive list grouped by trip, it would show that some were hidden. Example:

     

Not sure if Paul's condition is the same. Note that the invalid/hidden function displays on mobile too, but the option to toggle on/off is only available on the full computer-based application.

Hmm, looks like I have duplicated some dives. I see the same number twice and the rest of the data is also identical.

Will go over the list and delete the duplicates first to see if the numbers match after I do that,

BTW If I do have dives marked as invalid how would I recognize/find those ?

Cheers,

  Paul

Once you unhide them, you'll see duplicate dive numbers with strike-thru text. You can then right-click each to choose a disposition.
