I still care a lot about proper dive site handling, and it's one of the reasons why I still haven't switched to Subsurface as my main dive app. But still, that's me.

The pace has been pretty hefty for awhile, and it's just a slow season. Things will pick up again.

The mobile app is awesome.

It looks to me like you really want to shut down Subsurface by trying to scare people away from voting. But somehow I hope not. Henrik
