Contributions summary:Gaetan primarily contributed to the back-end logic of the Subsurface dive log program. Their work involved fixing and improving the autofilling of GPS coordinates for dive locations, enhancing the planner to include and report CNS and OTU calculations, and storing and restoring user preferences related to dive planning. Furthermore, the user addressed build issues and refactored code to improve functionality and maintainability. They also introduced new features related to dive planning and reporting.
