@@ -606,7 +606,7 @@ The context menu is used in many manipulations described below.
 
 Dives are normally numbered incrementally from non-recent dives (low sequence numbers) to recent dives (having the highest sequence numbers). The numbering of the dives is not always consistent. For instance, when non-recent dives are added to the dive list the numbering does not automatically follow on because of the dives that are more recent in date/time than the newly-added dive that has an older date/time. Therefore one sometimes needs to renumber the dives. This is performed by selecting (from the Main menu) Log -> Renumber. You are given a choice with respect to the lowest sequence number to be used. Completing this operation results in new sequence numbers (based on date/time) for the dives in the *Dive List* panel.
