I think it's fresh and salt water and that's about it. Every other one I
looked at I was able to come up with cases where they aren't really
mutually exclusive.

I'll add the code that shows salt water if it isn't fresh water later
today.

Don't think that works. Lots of times you get in the water when it's
still day and come out at night. And also, I don't think a lot of people
think of "day dives" :-)

No it doesn't. People can combine all of those. And I guess that's one
of the strengths of the idea of tags :-)
