Dirk, fantastic.

Two points.

1) The dive location is shown at the top of the trip as well as for each 
dive. Seeing that screen space is at a premium, is it really necessary 
to indicate the location for each dive individually in addition to the 
trip header? Surely the dive trip header location should be sufficient? 
Now, there are possibly users who do not organise their dives into trips 
and that would leave them without dive location data on the dive list. 
But then it would be easy to see if this is the case and to decide 
accordingly?

2) While I think that David's ideas are seminal, there is one thing I 
would not agree with, and that is to put any icons to the left of each 
dive item in the list (he uses CCR/OC/pSCR icons). The screen space is 
just too valuable, even though such icons would colour up the screen.

It's amazing you doing these thing even while away from home.

Kind regards,
