Attached is the whole trip, the dive #11 was more surprising for me. As
my computer was being so conservative the divemaster pretty much decided
to ignore it (at his discharge, mine was giving me 11min of deco while
his was still at deco - 2 min). Good thing it was the last dive of the
trip and I had planned 48h before flying back.
(again beginner inside, I followed the divemaster, maybe I shouldn't
have)

I was actually surprise not to see the last /!\ turning red or a warning
being printed that I should not dive for at least 24h (if current
date/time < dive date/time + 24h). That might be an interesting feature
to add.

RGBM with 9 compartments. O2 and nitrox exposition (?) are based on the
