I originally tried to write this as a part of the libdivecomputer but since I did not (and still not) understand quite what the data model for the dive profiles are in libdc, I had problems in creating a new 'driver' for it. Instead I wrote the libsentinel which let me use (and comprehend) very simple structures to store the dive data.

I think having it in libdivecomputer is preferable, but not always worth the effort. Especially if the user community is relatively small.
How are you using it to import data into Subsurface today?
