Adapted limit for better gas warning: The Better gas warning was shown more or less when the diver already passed the change depth. In the new version the better gas option is provided when the diver reachs the major digit depth (e.g. 22.9m instead 20.0m). This change does not effect the gas change depth used for deco calculation.
