Here is what the store description starts with:

Subsurface is a free open source dive log application available on Windows, Mac and Linux. Subsurface-mobile allows you to access your dive log on your tablet or phone. Simply create a Cloud Storage account with the Subsurface desktop application, store your dive log in the cloud and then enter the same credentials in Subsurface-mobile.

Now you can access your dive list, see dive details, even modify these details right there on your mobile device. You can also manually add new dives to the dive list.

Feel free to suggest better language for this particular point.

We simply shouldn't allow the user to add dives unless cloud credentials are entered.
I'll modify the start page - hopefully that will address the concerns
