I have my own way of doing this and this is done using a combination of tags and location name.

For me my tag rules are:
Deep = anything over 35m (this is just depth that I’ve chosen as my cutoff point) Deco = any dive with accelerated decompression. Mandatory or extended safety stops don’t count in my rules

What you have suggested (nitrox, mandatory deco ceiling) could easily be done with tags.

My location naming scheme is a bit less consistent and I have a couple of ways of doing this, whatever seems the most sensible. At home I use Country – Town/City – Site. On holiday I use Body of water – Country – Site (I do this if the trip is from a liveaboard where the port of origin is less meaningful) or Body of water – Country – Town/City – Site (I do this if it’s a ‘day-boat’ leaving and returning to port.

e.g.
Adriatic Sea - Croatia - Krnica – Pascoli
Adriatic Sea - Croatia - Plomin Luka – Vis
Pacific Ocean - Chuuk - San Francisco Maru
Red Sea - Egypt - Chrisoula K
Red Sea - Egypt - Giannis D
UK - Plymouth - HMS Scylla
UK - Plymouth - SS James Egan Layne
UK - Portland - HMS Boadicea

This works for me.

I agree that I can solve this with tags just like you. It would mean I have to add tags to all my previous dives, it will just cost me some time to add them. I thought it would be nice to have some additional search features though for people that have a large number of dives.


For discontiguous dives as part of the same trip, that doesn’t make sense to me. A ‘trip’ as far as Subsurface is concerned is a set of contiguous dives for example some sea dives and some cenote/cave dives in Mexico but these would all be contiguous. I’d be interested in knowing the reasoning why you would want to use this otherwise.

I’m making quite some local dives between my trips that I would like to group as “local dives” to have a shorter overview in the list (which is why the trip feature exists). As you can see in the attached screenshot, this would end up as quite a weird list since these local dives are discontiguous between the trips I’m making.

You can add a trip (or multiple trips) manually, and add selected dives to the trip. Choose the dives you want to group together, click right button within the selection and choose create trip above. This should group all the selected dives together. (Not sure if it works if there is a different trip in between the dives, but it should be easy to test out.)

I've tested that part, but then the local dives get added to the trip in between. I can create a trip for each period between my actual trips, but it would be nice to have my local dives grouped together.
