I also posted this on Diving Log's message board but have not yet gotten a response. I may also post in general computers.

The Shearwater Petrel has the ability to wait a given amount of time on the surface before ending the dive so that short surface intervals do not lead to multiple dives. You can set the delay between a few second to 10 minutes. Other computers also do this, such as the ATOM 3.1.

When I import the dive log from the Petrel into Diving Log 5.0, the 10 minute delay appears as part of my graph at the end of my dive. What is odd is that the overall dive time number appears to be correct, and is different than the total amount displayed on the graph (because the first 10 min of the surface interval is displayed) My Atom did not have this problem. The first 10 min of the surface interval was not displayed.

Is there any way to fix this? I don't want a large horizontal line at the end of each of my dives. It seems like you could just cut off the end of the graph based on the total dive time value.

Attached are images of the dive log from Diving Log 5.0 and from Shearwater Desktop.

Thanks
