Subsurface is a software for logging and planning scuba dives. It was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds and Dirk Hohndel in 2011.

Subsurface is free and open-source software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.

Overview

Until version 3.9.2, Subsurface used GTK+ for its graphical user interface and with version 4.0, Subsurface switched to Qt 4.[3] At the LCA2014, Torvalds and Hohndel explained why they choose to re-write the GUI using Qt.[4][5]

Subsurface further depends on GConf, SQLite, ATK and makes use of OpenStreetMap and/or OpenSeaMap.

Subsurface officially runs on Linux, OS X and Microsoft Windows. It is written using the POSIX API and not the Linux API, so it should be portable to any POSIX-compliant operating system.

Supported dive computers

As of release 4.2 in August 2014, Subsurface supports the downloading and processing of dive log data from the following dive computers:[6]
