Some dive computers store the depth as an absolute pressure value (in
bar). To convert to a depth value (in meters), the atmospheric pressure
and water density are required. For dive computers that do not have
those values available, libdivecomputer uses a default value. With the
new public api functions, applications can adjust those default values.
Some dive computers already provided a backend specific calibration
function. Those functions are now deprecated. They are kept around to
maintain backwards compatibility for now, but they will be removed in
the next version.
