+Information in the dive list is taken from different sources. Either

+software>> or a <<S_ImportNewDives,dive computer>> or manually entered.
+Additional columns can be added through

+Existing data can be <<S_EditDiveInfo,manually edited>>, too.

+Because of the inaccuracy of depth gauge of diving computers depth
+ >20m are shown rounded to the next meter. Despite this the provided
+depth is kept in the logfile. Users of imperial system aren't affected
+by this.
