Crossing the international date-line requires only a tiny
move of your liveaboard dive boat when e.g. travelling between the
beautiful dive spots of Samoa.

Sure, it's not too likely people will change their locale settings
on day X of such a trip just to reflect their new position, but
it's possible.
