Divelogs.de integration

Do people really change the time on their dive computers when they travel
to a nearby timezone? The only was I can think of that happening is if you
are based next to a time boundary, and I'm not sure than many people would
change the time back and forth each and every time they pass over the
boundary. Or am I over-simplifying the issue?
