Profile

What it is

Your Profile holds who you are as a diver: your name, date of birth, a photo, and your dive-insurance details. It is a simple personal record. The name and photo you set here also appear on the Manage tab home screen, so the app greets you by name. Until you set a name, the Manage home screen shows “Diver”.

View your profile

From the Manage tab, tap Profile. The view screen shows your details laid out in cards:

• Your profile photo, centred at the top.
• A Bio card with your name and date of birth.
• A Diver Insurance card with your agency, plan, insurance number, start date, and expiration date.

Any field you have not filled in reads “Not specified” rather than appearing blank. If you have entered an insurance number, you can tap it to copy it to the clipboard, which is handy when a dive centre asks for it on a form.

The insurance card also flags timing. If your policy expires within the next 30 days, the card shows an amber reminder (“Expires in N days. Consider renewing soon”). Once the date passes it turns red (“Expired N days ago. Renew before your next dive”). On the day it expires it reads “Expires today. Renew before your next dive”. This way you renew before your next dive.

Edit your profile

Tap the edit button in the header to open the edit screen. You change these fields:

Field	What it is	Rules
Profile photo	Tap to pick an image from your library; tap the X to clear it	Cropped square
Name	Your name	Required; letters and spaces only
Date of birth	Your birth date	Optional; the picker allows dates between 8 and 120 years ago
Agency	Your insurance provider, picked from a list	Optional
Plan	Your insurance plan	Optional
Insurance number	Your policy number	Optional; the field auto-capitalizes what you type
Start date	When the policy begins	Optional
Expiration date	When the policy ends	Optional; must be after the start date

A reset control appears next to the Diver Insurance heading once any insurance field has data, so you can clear the whole insurance block in one step. When you open the expiration date picker without a value set, it defaults to one year after your start date as a starting point.

Tap Save in the header. The app validates the fields, saves your photo to the device, and returns you to the view screen.

Where each field is used

• Name and photo show on the Manage home screen. If no name is set, that screen shows “Diver”.
• Insurance dates also drive a colored dot on the Profile card on the Manage home screen: red when the policy has expired, amber when it expires within 30 days. You see the reminder without opening Profile.
• Insurance details are stored for your own reference and for the tap-to-copy shortcut. They are not sent anywhere or checked against your insurer.
• Date of birth is kept as part of your record.

Your profile is independent of your dive calculations. Editing it does not change any plan, gas calculation, or certification.

Where your data is stored

Your profile is stored on your device. The photo is kept as a file on the device and the rest of your details are saved in the app’s local storage. Dive Kit has no account system and does not upload your profile, so it stays private to your phone and works fully offline. If you delete the app, your profile goes with it.

Behaviour and limits

• The name field accepts letters and spaces only, so names with digits or symbols are rejected.
• Date of birth must be between 8 and 120 years in the past, and an insurance expiration date must fall after its start date.
• Insurance reminders are based on the dates you enter. The amber “expiring soon” reminder appears once the policy is within 30 days of expiry. The reminders do not verify your policy with your provider, so keep the dates current yourself.
