The first time you use the Scientific Diver app it will show you the empty screen below.

Before you can use the SD app you will need to customize it by creating one or more survey type.

To create a Survey Type, tap the plus icon

(in the bottom right corner) and the app will show you the Survey Type screen below (please note that in order to create a Survey Type you MUST be connected to the Internet).

The Survey Type screen contains 15 cells.
To add a species to a cell just tap on it and the app will show the species search screen powered by EOL (hint: you might want to place the more common species in the cells in the center of the screen).
