+=== Saving a dive with its dive plan
+
+In the section dealing with <<S_MultipleDiveComputers, dives using more than one dive computer>>
+we discussed the way in which multiple profiles for a single dive can be viewed using the
+left-arrow and right-arrow keyboard keys. A similar method can be used for saving a dive plan
+with the profile of the actual dive, once this has been uploaded into _Subsurface_.
+In order to do this:
+
+- Do the dive planning and save the final plan in the _Dive List_.
+- After diving, upload the dive data from the dive computer.
+- Change the date and time of the _dive plan_ to coincide with that of the
+ real-life dive from the _dive computer_.
+- In the _Dive List_, highlight the dive plan as well as the data for the real dive
+ and merge the two dives, making use of the Dive List Context Menu
+ (available by righ-clicking a dive).
+
+The text version of the dive plan is appended to the Notes in the _Notes Tab_. With this
+merged dive highlighted in the _Dive List_, switch
+between the planned profile and the real-life profile using the righ-arrow/left-arrow keyboard keys.
