It feels to me that I do so much nagging...

Interesting. I wonder if this is something where the statistics code should more aggressively ignore unused cylinders?

I can't really (with the limited testing i've done) get too much meaningful data out when i have the charts based on two criteria, i guess that's because i do some quite varied diving and the source data is a bit messy, not really a reflection of the stats function.

That’s why the stats are designed the way they are. You can use the filter in the lower right to select a group of dives that are meaningfully similar (in my case, for example, all dives where I am not ‘teaching’ - so I use a tag for that, or all dives where I am not in a dry suit), and then use the stats widget to create analysis, for example SAC over water temperature.

It’s the combination of the filter and the statistics that makes this so cool (in my, highly biased mind).

Yeah, a few people really really love data and love statistics, and most people will likely not use it a lot. Especially right now, where most of us don’t get to add a lot of new data to their dive list... I’ve had two dives in the last 15 months :-(
