It would help to separate the displays of the
minimum and maximum depths visually from the
display of the average depth, as the placement/
grouping of those three values in one box currently
suggests they are min/avg/max of the same data set,
which they are not. "min"/"max" are computed
over the set of maximum depths, "avg" is computed
over the set of "all samples of all dives".

As close as you wanted them - they were circling over a cleaning
station and if you placed yourself in their "approach"-path they
avoided collisions by mere centimeters. They were about 3m wide.

I did, of course, record countless minutes of video on those two dives,
and retained about 7 minutes of those in my final cut. (Should anybody
be interested, I can post a link to archive.org once it's uploaded.)
