This parser is used when there is a dive profile included. The XSLT
used when there is one line per dive is manualcsv2xml.xslt.

This field is for start time, not duration and there is an additional
1 before the true time as otherwise time might be interpreted as
octal. And that must be skipped :D

Yep, you are reading wrong field. In this case, duration is passed
as-is to Subsurface to be parsed. I just sent a patch to change the
duration from h:m:s format to m:s format, so it will be parsed
properly.
