They wouldn't be scattered.
It's a simple approach:

#1 you (eventually) filter your data via the multi-filter on the top
#2 you choose the type of statistic to apply, or how to represent them
via one of the "stats tab" you have available.

Once you come out with a new graph/stat you simply add a new tab.

Regarding UI layout, just look at the attachment: it's my Subsurface
on a popular 1280x720 crappy monitor.
You can see that the current multi-filter seems cut on the lower
border and all items aren't properly spaced/distributed. For a proper
design we should increase vertical space a bit to display correctly a
certain number of items at least. We have few space remaining for dive
list. Now imagine to draw statistics in the dive detail box...
Regardless of the way you will choose to implement stats, it doesn't
seem to me a good graphical design. Too much things in one screen.

BTW you are the programmers so you have the power :)
