Max Depth is not the same in OSTC and in JDiveLog

Hello,

For some time I have noted a small strange problem : the max depth of a dive is not the same in the logbook of the OSTC and in the downloaded profile of JDiveLog. The depth in JDiveLog is always a little smaller than in the OSTC.

The difference is very small, typically around 30 cm. So this is not a real problem... But this is strange !
Maybe does the OSTC record the absolute max depth of a dive, and JDiveLog only gets the sampled values from the profile ? This could give a difference...

I've an OSTC mk1, v1.50 - I use JDiveLog 2.13

It's likeley, that this is a feature in jdivelog as other users (not using a OSTC/DR5) also complaining this...

I don't know the exact cause but this:

sounds very possible.
