On holiday I use Body of water – Country – Site (I do this if the trip is from a liveaboard where the port of origin is less meaningful) or Body of water – Country – Town/City – Site  (I do this if it’s a ‘day-boat’ leaving and returning to port.

I agree that I can solve this with tags just like you. It would mean I have to add tags to all my previous dives, it will just cost me some time to add them. I thought it would be nice to have some additional search features though for people that have a large number of dives.


> For discontiguous dives as part of the same trip, that doesn’t make sense to me. A ‘trip’ as far as Subsurface is concerned is a set of contiguous dives for example some sea dives and some cenote/cave dives in Mexico but these would all be contiguous. I’d be interested in knowing the reasoning why you would want to use this otherwise.

I’m making quite some local dives between my trips that I would like to group as “local dives” to have a shorter overview in the list (which is why the trip feature exists). As you can see in the attached screenshot, this would end up as quite a weird list since these local dives are discontiguous between the trips I’m making.
