Thanks for the detailed explanation and screen shots.

I'm not quite sure why Notes isn't recognized (I'll have to spend some
more time looking at the code to remind myself how this was supposed to
work...)

But I can explain the failure to parse: Subsurface assumes that the input
file is valid utf-8 and apparently your file isn't:

plongee.csv:26: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0xE8 0x72 0x65 0x20
27/08/2008      Safaga, Panorama Reef, Egypte   39      46      Premi�re profonde
                                                                     ^

I'm sure you can instrcut Excel to export the file as UTF-8 and then this
should work.
