Altitude & Depth

Post by mfupi »

In sites, there's a numerical field for altitude, but not depth. I realize it's not going to change.

But still, does anyone else think the depth vs. altitude is weird?

I mean it shows you the max/average depth you’ve been to at that site, based on dives you’ve logged against it.

I realise some sites/books/etc offer an indication of the depth of a site. Is that really useful? You dived it, there are logs. One less thing to type in that seems a bit pointless to me personally.

Not for a site you have not yet dived, or a site that can be either recreational or technical. Just because you've dived the site before doesn't mean you went to the sand, or saw everything in there there was to see.

I want to research a site before I dive it, if possible.
