On some dive computers few or no events are shows, +other dive computers create these events rather agressively.

In order to do that, point at the +event-triangle with your mouse (it is actually sufficient to have the +mouse point at the point in time when the event happened) and +right-click. A context menu will allow you to remove the event from +the dive. + +In the same way (by picking the correct time with the mouse pointer), +certain events can be added to a dive profile from the right-click +context menu.
