one could also add that may temperature sensors are very slow so it takes them
several minutes to pick up the correct reading (if it is quite different from
what it was before like the air temperature). So if the dive time is of the
order of the time constant of that thermometer, the lowest reading is likely
the most accurate.
Just my $.02

will give subsurface-mobile a fresh try.
