Adding a critter to a dive

[nancy54cat]

I am sorry for asking this most basic of questions. I have not used the app for a long time and cannot remember anything. I read the “how to” and I searched the forum but can’t get it - forgive me, I am old
When logging a dive, how do I add a critter siting? Can I go back to a previous dive and add critters?

Yes, I did read that but I don’t get it. Can you do images to show me how to do it? I am working on my iPad. I don’t have photos, just names of what I see.

Good day to you nancy54cat!

Here is what I do to add a critter siting to a dive using the mobile version on my iPhone (I am not sure if the iPad version is different).

The first thing I do is check if the critter already exists in my list of critters by:

• Touching on the Critter button at the Bottom of the screen
  click here if the image link is not working.
• I then scroll through the list of critters to confirm the critter I want is in the list. If they are not in the list then I touch the + button at the top of the screen:
  click here if the image link is not working.
• Then I fill in the fields on the screen that comes up and touch Done in the top right corner.

Now that I know that the critter is in my list of critters I go to the dive I want to add the critter into and do the following:

• I touch on the Notes button on the Dive screen:
  click here if the image link is not working;
• Then I touch in the critters section of the screen:
  click here if the image link is not working;
• This brings up the list of critters I have entered using the method described above. Then I scroll through the list and put check marks beside each of the critters I want to indicate that I saw on this dive:
  click here if the image link is not working.
• Then I am done, the critter has been added to my dive.

Let us know if you have questions about the above information or if this works for you as well.

Have a great day!
