Should we do this differently? In order to get the deco stuff right, I
don't think we can do this differently. But maybe we can be smarter about
telling the profile what has to change?

I hadn't noticed that.

Not sure what you mean with the colors of the borders...
What I do notice is that the screen is all blue (instead of cream) - I
guess that's OK as it indicates we are in create dive mode.
The other thing that I noticed is that if I cancel "Add Dive" the profile
of the selected dive is not restored. I have to switch dives to get the
profile back.

I saw more patches. Will get to them next :-)

We need to integrate this in a consistent way into add dive as well.
