detailed weights information for a dive
Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:11 am
Dear MacDive developer,
Weights (both total and distribution/trim) are so important to perfecting buoyancy that I thought it would be really helpful to be able to have the following data fields for dive details please. This way, we could always look back at previous dives and immediately be able to tell what weights to use for a particular dive in the future.
1) own body weight: since people's bodies don't stay at the same weight throughout their life, the weights they need to use change too.
...or even ....
2) a "weights details" tab: dedicated to logging the finer aspects of weighting. a) body weight b) total added weight c) specification of how much weight in belt, BCD pocket, BCD trim pocket, ankle weights, tank weights, etc. d) water type (yes this is already present in "Site" tab, but it's important for weights, e) suit type (yes, it's part of "Gear" tab, but again, it would be great to see this as part of the "weights" tab also
So far I've just been writing these things down in the notes section, but because this is such an important part of perfecting buoyancy (especially for the first 50 dives of a new diver) I thought making it more visual / organized in the dive information would tremendously help as a future reference to immediately getting the perfect weighting down right.
