Clarification on EAD and END meaning in Subsurface
As pointed out in commit 23ce727 by Dirk and remembered Jan, there are different
meanings for EAD and END depending on organisations. Let's explain a bit the one
Subsurface has choosen, as this is confusing, even while translating the acronyms.

Subsurface has choosen that *_EAD_ means Equivalent Air Depth considering both oxygen and nitrogen narcotics*, while *_END_ would mean Equivalent Nitrogen Depth (ignoring oxygen)*. This way, _EAD_ would be a measure for the narcotic potential of a gas, while _END_ would be more related to nitrogen absortion by tissues. So, when diving NITROX, _EAD_ will remain the same (or almost) than real depth, while _END_ would be the interesting depth for deco calculations. + [[S_Companion]] == Importing GPS coordinates with Subsurface companion.
