For those that have strong feelings about dive sites, one would like to have an

I can see the logic in that. I'd be unlikely to use this as that's not how I
approach diving, but simply with the concept of dive sites as first class
citizens in mind, this seems entirely reasonable.
Before we go off and do that, let's see if there are people here who WOULD use
that and what work flow they would like to use.
I'd use the feature in general, but most likely only on mobile - which
means obviously there are some prereqs.
The overall workflow/use-case is:
* I'm sitting on a dive boat listening to the pre-dive briefing.
* The divemaster says "we're at XXX".
* I open the mobile app, hit "add dive site", enter in the name of the
place.
* I do *something* (Maybe hit "I'm here now") - that would record a
timestamp or something - so that when I sync from dive computer later
and apply GPS fixes, it'll know what's going on.
It's less of an issue for shore dives, since I've usually taken myself
to those sites, and I'm still at those sites after the dive (usually).
But on a boat, while I did book the _trip_ - the divesites themselves
are often fluid depending on conditions and we know them when we get
there - and we're often somewhere else by the time I'm syncing/logging.
The GPS tracker, obviously, solves 99% of what I need for "I'm logging
later and am already somewhere else". The process for using that
currently is:
* turn on tracker
* sync dives
* enter dive site name
* apply gps fixes
so this is really about moving "enter dive site name" earlier in the
process flow.
Anyway - I'm pretty happy with how it works currently - so if we never
grew "add a divesite on mobile" I'd be great.
The ‘create dive’ functionality already exists with the small ‘+’ sign near the
upper right corner of the table on the dive site tab. I think from a usability
perspective, that could be improved, but that is a UI nit rather than a feature
request.
Awesome!
