No, we now do trips entirely time based.

Trips are sequences of dives that are each no more than three days
apart. This works well from what I can tell for people who go on trips
to go diving. And is complete crap for people who regularly dive
locally. Which is why this is now off by default.

If you don't like them, keep them turned off and that will solve this
much better :-)
