Each dive has its own photo page, called media. Open a dive, tap media, then add photos from your phone’s library. They save as soon as they upload, and you can reorder, view and remove them on the same page.

​
Open a dive’s photos

1

Open the dive

In your logbook, tap the dive. See View, edit or delete a dive.
2

Tap media

In the equipment section of the dive, tap media. The page shows the dive number at the top and the dive’s photos in a grid.
The media row only appears once the app has loaded its settings from SCUBAzen’s servers when it starts. If you don’t see it, connect to the internet and reopen the app.

​
Add photos

1

Tap add images

On a dive with no photos yet, tap add images. On a dive that already has photos, tap the + tile at the end of the grid.
2

Choose photos

Your phone’s photo library opens. Pick one or more photos and confirm.
3

Wait for the upload

Each photo appears in the grid straight away, dimmed with a spinner while it uploads. When the spinner goes, the photo is saved to the dive.
Things to know:
  • Library only. Photos come from your phone’s photo library. You can’t take a photo from this page, and videos aren’t supported.
  • Photos are resized. Each photo is scaled down to fit within 1920 by 1080 pixels before it uploads. The original in your library is not changed.
  • No save button. Adding, reordering and removing each save immediately.
  • You need a connection to add photos. Uploads go straight to SCUBAzen’s servers and can’t wait offline. If some photos fail, the app tells you they didn’t upload. Add those photos again when you have a better connection.

​
Reorder photos

Press and hold a photo until it lifts, drag it onto the photo whose place you want it to take, and let go. The new order saves when you drop it.

​
View photos full screen

Tap a photo to open it full screen on a black background.
  • Swipe left or right to move between the dive’s photos. When the dive has more than one photo, the top right shows your position, for example 3 / 12.
  • Pinch to zoom in.
  • To close, tap the X at the top left, or pinch the photo well below its full-screen size.

​
Remove photos

1

Tap select

At the top right of the media page, tap select. The title changes to show how many photos are selected.
2

Mark the photos

Tap each photo you want to remove. Selected photos dim and show a check mark.
3

Tap the trash icon

Tap the trash icon (remove) at the top right.
4

Confirm

The dialog asks Remove this photo? (or how many photos) and explains that they come off this dive’s log while the photos on your phone aren’t touched. Tap remove.
To stop selecting without removing anything, tap the X at the top left or use your phone’s back gesture.
Removing a photo deletes SCUBAzen’s copy of it, and there is no undo. The photo in your phone’s library is not touched, so you can add it again from there.

​
Photos aren’t in backups or exports

Your photos are stored with your account, not in any file the app makes:
  • A logbook backup contains no photos.
  • Deleting your account deletes every dive photo, and no export can save them. Keep your originals in your phone’s library. See Delete your account.

​
If photos don’t load

If the page says it couldn’t load this dive’s photos, check your connection and tap retry. You can’t add photos until the dive’s existing photos have loaded.
