My intuition would be to save the GPS information with the dive and use that 
to suggest sensible dive-sites when doing the dive site association. Little is 
gained by automatically generating a new dive site for every dive, if it has 
to be consolidated afterwards anyway.

An "autogen" flag as you suggested might also be viable.

I wonder if GPS entry & exit should be optional dive fields that are 
independent of the dive site. After all, you might dive the same site from 
different entry points, no?

Of course, this all needs some tuning concerning the map, etc.
