Because its free?
No, I was hoping to be able to take some photos with my shiny smartphone
and get them associated with the dive. Alternative would be in
subsurface to scan all pics in a specified folder for EXIF data pointing
out the same date, time and - if available also - GPS data. I'd agree to
postpone this after 3.0.2...

But back to the website: Is there a reason the OSM map is sooo limited
in size? Havin a fullscreen / popup available might be an option as well.

Water is below 5C now even at surface, diving longer than 90min is
really manful. This is the time of the year where I always think about
to buy a heating or do diving holidays...
