They are two critical values for interpretation of the ceiling in the 
dive profile and therefore play an important rôle in assessing the 
safety of a dive. Temperature is not (well, unless you are diving at 
very low temperature). It is an attempt to maximise the ability 
information of the display to provide information relating to the safety 
of the dive.

If you have an alternative suggestion of where to display this 
information, please bring this up. That is the purpose of this 
discussion. We must assume there will be different points of view but 
are trying to get a consensus that accommodates as many as possible of 
the different types of divers that use Subsurface. Makes sense?

Kind regards,
