That might be the case but our button does not only return the user to the main view.
It also saves any changes made to the dive, that needs to be obvious to the user as well.

How to solve that is another issue, maybe a drop down menu that says “save and return”.
Since pressing the return button on the device will transport the user back to the main view as well.
