I didn't even realize that they were air-integrated at all. At least
giving the start/end pressure is better than not having it at all.

The jdivelog file doesn't seem to have those pressures, though - at
least not in a format that looks like it came from a dive computer.
The pressures it has seem to be entered by hand, because they are so
round (eg "PSTART 2.2E7, PEND 8000000" - almost certainly in pascal,
and thus looks very much like 220 bar down to 80 bar to me, and is
unlikely to be a computer reading).

Ok. We always interpolate pressures with a constant-SAC model, and
paint the interpolated line in yellow (while actual samples are in
green)
