Also, should this offset be in minutes, or do we need seconds? It belongs to the dive and combining dives with conflicting data > should throw an error. > Agreed, as long as 'one dive computer has an offset set, the others have 'don't know'' is not considered a conflict - I suspect this will cover most of the cases where this is relevant. Also not sure if 'throw an error' is user friendly - I'd go for allowing the diver to select what the correct offset is. > I would suggest placing full timezone/DST information, as provided by the > divecomputer, in extra_data. > If we have it - from looking at Garmin's format, best we can do is probably an offset to UTC. And placing this into Extra Info and then using it to feed into the offset on the dive is not the cleanest way to do this.
