John,
The sync is really a hard sync, meaning that any changes that you make 
to your dive log on the phone (even just the dive site name) is saved in 
the cloud during sync. The  "manual sync with cloud" option will update 
the dive log in the cloud with whatever you have changed.
A general procedure would be:
1) Select, from the dive list, the dive you wish to edit.
2) Tap the pencil icon at the bottom of the screen.
3) Edit whatever you wish to change.
4) Tap the disk button at the bottom of the screen to save the changes 
locally.
In your details view, of the dive, the changes should now be possible. 
This reflects the local dive log.
5) Go to "Dive management -> Manual sync with cloud"
This will save your changes to cloud. The system is sophisticated in the 
sense it only saves your new changes to cloud, not a new and complete 
copy of your local dive log. You can follow the conversation between 
Android and the cloud server while your dive log is being updated on the 
cloud. Try it out at email this list again if you have problems.
Kind regards,
