Now, scroll down in the dive list, and select a dive a little further down. Instead of being presented that new selected dive, the app starts scrolling over all the dives in between, towards the new selected dive. So, when you select a dive, 100 dives down, you will have to wait for it to scroll there.

That is so strange - we had all three of these on and off during the development of Subsurface-mobile. And none of them are present in the 2.0 release build (to the best of my knowledge)

Can you confirm that they all three go away if you build against 5.9.1?
