I think the tools should not stop someone to dive the way they please. 

For example, I change the descent from the 60ft/min to 30 ft/min because from going to 150 feet from shore here in Seattle is longer than the time 60ft/min gives. Actually it took me about 10 minutes, so I will change that to 10-15 ft/min in my next dive.

The same holds true for the ascent. At 30 ft/min it will take me about 5 minutes to reach the first deco stop or surface (no considering the time per stop as this is just an illustration) whereas here I ascent way slower due the slope/bottom conditions. 

With this I want to transfer the message that the software should give freedom of choice to any conditions or way the diver decides to conduct his dive.

Just my humble comments and as it is called 2 cents ….

First of all I wanted to add a column to the table to show the ascent/descent speed(*) of the segment (BTW: spacing of the table is pretty much broken on my Mac). I managed to add the column (even though I am not 100% I understand what all the functions^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H methods are supposed to do). But I found that it would be much more useful if the table would be updated _while_ points are being moved around. But my not existing Qt knowledge didn't allow me to add a trigger for this update.
