one could make that even better defined (in the sense of: upon any ascent or descent I only spend an infinitesimal amount of time at each depth. So one would need to introduce some binning like “in depths between x and x+2m” and the result would depend on the binning) one you use the integral, i.e. plot

“Total time spent at depths deeper than x” which is independent of binning and finite.
