After a very productive weekend I think this is getting closer. The good news 
is that more and more things are starting to work. The bad news is that 
literally everything that I tried was broken in some way shape or form. We had 
started displaying the location where the dive number used to be (thanks 
Tomaz). We had stopped showing the dive time and only showed the date (thanks, 
err, Tomaz). GPS fixes had their timezone offset calculated wrong (mine). The 
whole logic of figuring out if we had data from the server was bogus (if you 
had successfully synced before, but now are offline -- mine). Editing was so 
broken, it's not even funny (mostly mine). When "saving" changes after editing 
them we didn't actually save them. And while that makes some sense on the 
desktop (you need to manually save data and when you quit Subsurface, it 
reminds you), the usage model on a device is different. You usually don't quit 
software - you just switch away and it may get killed by the OS - and then you 
lost your data. So that was changed.

Anyway, I'm rambling.

Please give it a try. New dailies are up (and should make their way through the 
play store, soon). I'd really love it if people started experimenting with this 
in a more structured manner and especially started filing bugs when they run 
into things that are not working as they should.

I think we've made amazing progress and would like to do a public beta in the 
near future, but for that to happen I want the functionality that we have 
reasonably well tested so it doesn't look like a complete disaster to our 
broader user base :-)

Thanks
