Find out how to control your mobile during your dive

Locality selection

 

When you start the application you will see a map with diving locations - a diving atlas.

Alternatively you can switch to a list of localities ordered by their distance from you.

Each mark provides more information about the locality and allows you to go directly to the diving screen.

You can add a new location by clicking the PLUS icon.

How to set map orientation before dive »

 

 

 

Before dive

 

When you switch to the diving screen you can explore a locality and prepare for your dive.

You will see a full screen underwater map of the locality and its discoveries, which you can zoom in on.

 

Before your dive you need to set up your starting point (anchor) and map orientation.

If you do this accurately, then the red pointer (and the diver icon) will show your real direction on the map and help you with your navigation (the real azimuth is indicated by the compass icon on the top-left corner).

Then you can decide which discoveries you would like to visit and plan your dive.

Directly before your dive you have to switch to the "dive mode".


When you go under the water the touch screen of your mobile will no longer work - see how to control the application underwater.

What you can do underwater »

Dive

 

Underwater, you control the application using the volume button (or proximity sensor), and by tilting your mobile (left or right, or up or down) - for help, see the top-right corner of the screen.

See more about underwater control.

 

During the dive you can do this:

• Change your position on the map - select DIVER icon and tilt
• Zoom-in on the map - select DIVER icon, hold the UP button (or proximity sensor) and tilt left or right
• Set the depth - select DIVER icon, hold the UP button (or proximity sensor) and tilt up or down
• Center and show the whole map - select POSITION icon
• Correct your starting position and map orientation - select ANCHOR icon
• Add new discovery - select CAMERA icon, take a photo, set category, position on the map and depth
• Control DiveTracer - the PAUSE icon starts or stops automatic movement (EXPERIMENTAL)

 

What rest after dive »

 

After dive

 

After your dive you have to switch back to the "surface mode" (move the slider at the top-left corner of the screen to the left with your finger).

 

Then you can manage your new discoveries:

• Delete unwanted discoveries or "private" pictures you don't want to share (all photos will stay in your camera folder)
• Crop or change the photos of your discoveries
• Modify the properties of your discoveries (position on the map, depth, category)

Rate all discoveries and the dive (locality) overall.
