Yes, there is definitely some fine tuning to be done here.

I find that an interesting comment. Let me try to figure out if I
understand what you are saying: when you are in the middle of the dive
list, the action button is obscuring a small part in the center of the
bottom dive that is visible (assuming you are on a phone or tablet in
portrait mode - in landscape mode it really isn't in the way at all as it
sits on the center divider). So what is stopping you from scrolling up by
one dive to see the dive that you want to see? I don't understand your
refference to "have to scroll all the way to the bottom" of the dive list.
Or are you saying you'd like to have this white margin at the bottom all
the time? Because I'd hate that as wasted screen real estate.
