# View, edit or delete a dive

> Open a logged dive to read it, tap the pencil to change it, or delete it along with its equipment, dive type and photos.

Tap a dive in your logbook to open it. It opens read-only; tap the pencil to edit it, then **save**, or tap the **x** to cancel and put it back as it was. The bin icon deletes the dive together with its equipment checklist, dive type and photos, and that can't be undone.

## Open a dive

Open the menu, tap **logbook**, and tap the dive's row. The page is titled **dive detail**.

The top of the page shows the dive number, the dive site, the place and date, and the dive's max depth and dive time once it has them. Below those, small tags show **day** or **night**, **salt** or **fresh**, **boat** or **shore**, **deco dive** if it was one, and the rating out of 5. The sections underneath show every reading you recorded; a reading you didn't record shows as a dash. The **location** section only appears when the dive has a place or a pin on the map.

## Edit a dive

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap the pencil">
    The pencil (**edit**) is in the top bar. The page switches to the same form you log a dive with. See [Log a dive](/docs/logbook/log-a-dive) for what each section records.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your changes">
    You can change any field, including the **dive #**. To remove a reading, including **altitude**, clear the field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Tap **save**. The app shows **changes saved** and the dive goes back to read-only. You stay on the dive.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Nothing carries over from another dive when you edit, and day or night isn't recalculated from the sun. Set **light** yourself if it needs changing.

### Cancel an edit

Tap the **x** (**cancel**) beside **save**. If you've changed anything, the app asks **discard your changes?** and reminds you that gear used, dive type and photos save on their own pages. Tap **discard** to put the dive's own fields back as they were saved and stay on it, or **cancel** to keep editing. If you haven't changed anything, it closes the edit straight away.

Tapping the back arrow while editing asks the same question, then leaves the dive if you tap **discard**.

An edit in progress isn't kept if the app closes. The dive stays as it was last saved.

<Note>
  On iPhone, swiping from the edge of the screen doesn't leave a dive while you're editing it. Use the back arrow or the **x**.
</Note>

### Equipment, dive type and photos save on their own

The **gear used**, **dive type** and **photos** rows work whether or not you've tapped the pencil, and each has its own **save**. A change you save there stays saved even if you then cancel your edit of the dive itself, and the **discard your changes?** question says so.

See [Gear used on a dive](/docs/logbook/dive-equipment), [Dive type](/docs/logbook/dive-type) and [Dive photos](/docs/logbook/photos).

### Saving without a connection

If the save can't reach the server, the change is still saved on your phone. The dive goes back to read-only and a notice says it's saved on your phone and will sync when you're back online.

## Delete a dive

<Warning>
  Deleting a dive is permanent. It removes the dive and its equipment checklist, its dive type and its photos. There is no undo.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap the bin icon">
    The bin (**delete dive**) is in the top bar, whether or not you're editing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    The app asks **delete this dive?**. Tap **delete** to go ahead, or **cancel** to keep the dive.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The app shows **dive deleted** and returns you to your logbook, where the count ticks down.

Deleting needs a connection to finish. Without one, a notice says there's no connection and the dive stays open on screen. The delete may or may not have gone through, so check your logbook when you're back online. If the delete is refused for another reason, a notice says it couldn't delete and the dive is still there.
