I use the companion app to either take 'one time' GPS fixes if I have easy access to my phone when we are on site or to log it automatically if I'm not likely to be able to access my phone but I don't actually use the webservice to transfer the data. I simply log the data to the phone and then I screenshot the entry and manually key it into Subsurface when I'm logging the dive

It also enables me to use my old sacrificial (broken) iPhone that I'm not all that bothered about rather than my newer one that I would care if got wet/lost. I have no SIM card in the old phone and it still does what I want.

this is really very roundabout. You could at least add the picture of the screenshot to the dive. This should copy the GPS coordinates (I am not sure if screenshot have geodata, otherwise take any picture at the dive spot). You can later delete the image, the GPS fix will stay.
