We use that on the GPS point list. And (with all due respect), I find it
both visually and functionality wise inferior to the experience both
Android and iOS provide in their toolkit. The handle on the side is ugly
and confusing (it almost looks like the hamburger menu). And it's "swipe
to show the actions, then tap on the actions" instead of "swipe to trigger
the action". I'd much rather have "swipe to the left" deletes and "swipe
to the right" does some other action (in the GPS list case that would get
you the GPS location on a map.

That's something that people on both iOS and Android are familiar with.

See above. We have the two actions in one. I think it isn't as good and as
easy to use as what Jürgen suggests.

I agree, having the buttons to double the swiping is redundant and clutter.

Swipe to go to next/previous dive
Center button: edit
Button to the right of it, delete
Button in the right corner, go back

Sorry, spent the last five hours on a dive boat (actually, not sorry at
all). No pinch zoom back thingy, please. Really, just have a button on iOS
to go back, and don't have it on Android because Android already has a
back button, so we don't need to duplicate that feature.
