Even though I would probably not use this feature one should think of 
the utility of the software to the broader user base. The only obvious 
case is an instructor or some other professional who spends significant 
time in a rather deep pool (ours is 7m). There must have been a reason 
it was implemented in the GTK version of Subsurface? If some survey of 
user demand for this feature is done I would recommend sending it also 
to those that sent the google groups or developer mail list some 
inquiries about such a feature.

Kind regards,
