I think the biggest problem is that many people appear to assume that a
"dive" that was added on the companion app will CREATE a dive in
Subsurface.

But that is NOT how it works. All the companion app does is add GPS
location (and, potentially, a dive site name) to EXISTING dives in
Subsurface.

This apparently isn't communicated clearly enough.
