That's not what I think is the RIGHT behavior and I thought I fixed that.
At first that's what I implemented then after the discussions here I came
to the conclusion that we should ONLY turn multiple locations into the
same dive site if they have the identical name - otherwise the user will
experience the surprising "change of the dive name" that you describe.

I'll need to check why my fix was insufficient.
