You can't say that the dives in Oct/Nov 2019 are part of the same trip as the dives in March 2020 when you've been to other places in between. Your example here shows the trip feature working perfectly IMO. If you wanted to shorten the list from what you have now you could make custom trips out of the Netherlands dives between your overseas trips but these Netherlands trips would each be their own short trip rather than one long meta-trip.

I understand I can group them in separate trips, but that would defeat the purpose and would e.g create one trip for one dive in September.

I think I’ve been wasting peoples time here … I created a trip and tried to add dives later, but you can only add dives to a trip that wasn’t immidiately above/below in the GUI. Now I did as you said for all my local dives in dives in 2019 which solves my problem. Thank you, I was just thinking in the wrong way, assuming that I could always add any dive to any group/trip.

The only thing is that the date of the trip is set to the date of the first dive in the trip. I can live with that one though.
