I also suggested option to have a tick box to ensure user can opt out 
from saving his User ID in the file. This should solve privacy concern 
you highlighted.

Well yes, but information provided there is very limited. Tag could be 
incorporated here say additional few lines saying: boat: 10, deep: 25, 
lake: 33, river: 44 and so on. Also creating profile from statistics? It 
probably would be more useful to have say SAC change over time graph.

I wish. Sadly my programming knowledge extends to VBA for Outlook, Excel 
and Access only. I would probably need so much help that you are better 
of without my attempts at programming.

I am not sure asset management software is what I had in mind. What I 
really suggested is an extension of what already is in the application. 
Perhaps a separate window under the weights with BCD, hoods, gloves etc. 
Other features could be added later one.

My design skills are truly dreadful. Selecting font, style, size, shape, 
placement, etc is not something I know how to do. I would rather just 
buy off the shelf t shirt. So if Subsurface ever gets an art/design 
contributor who has time to design one I would be buying. I am sure 
there are website there which could share proceeds with the project and 
manage printing and distribution. My guess is that project would only 
need to set up paypal account to hold the money. Then once a year/decade 
most active/liked/popular/hated/funny developer could get a t shirt.
