I think you will find a fair number of tec divers with three tanks
(travel, bottom, deco). Four seems rather extrem (very deep dives with
two different trimix ratios come to mind). I don't think Subsurface
should support more than this for the default print format.

Jan, can you make suggestions what a CCR diver might want to see in such
a print out?

I like that idea.

I'm very happy to see you continue to improve our printouts. This is
going in the right direction, I think.
