Ugh, that sucks...
I do have an Oceanic Import for the Oceanlog Software, its an Access 
file and it actually does look like I get multiple values for the same 
bottom time in some occasions... Oh dear...
One example file I have gives me a depth value every 15 secs with some 
having multiple values. Another example file gives me continuous 1 
second steps apparently with no multiple values.

To make things even worse, Oceanic started encrypting their mdb Access 
files starting with version 2.2.8 of the Oceanlog Software. You 
somethimes wonder what goes on in peoples heads... Guess they really 
needed to hide my own data from myself.

I have two example Oceanlog files, but if you have anything else, that 
would be helpful, thanks.
