I assume, a lot of people don’t care to set any time zone info at all in the camera. In the dialogue to include pictures with a dive, we therefore offer the possibility to adjust the time by a fixed amount (including the possibility to automatically determine that amount by taking a picture of your dive computer). I would love to hear a way to make this simpler for the user. It is just the whole time zone business is very very hard to get right. In particular, we specifically do not expose time zones to the user (all our times are supposed to be local times) in order not to run into problems with dives done in other time zones (like a dive you did at noon) appears to become a night dive as your current time zone when you look at the dive in your log is in a different time zone from when you did the dive.
