During almost all liveabord trips I've been diving off, the actual
dive spot was approached by either Zodiacs or other secondary boats
that people would usually not like to take smart phones to.
A lowered timing interval would probably help only those who do...
but an option sure couldn't hurt.

BTW: For those unwilling to donate all their personal data to Google/NSA,
the subsurface companion app is now also available from the free
f-droid repository:
