Of course. I was just trying to understand the logic behind this. I thought that a dive site should be unique as the real place it represent hence the same (V2 format) dive would generate always the same dive site even across subsurface instances. Basically an hash of the location data. But there's something I do not get. Anyway, nothing important.
