That's why I wanted to see a dump so that I can understand what's
happening. I wonder if Subsurface creates the event because there is no
gas information at all and the first cylinder was a non-air gas (since it
came from the other dive computer), so Subsurface tries to be smart and
adds a gas change event to air...?

Basically I think we might be trying too hard here :-)
