The Suunto Eon Steel seems to have a limit of maximum 400 dives. Once that limit is reached, the oldest dives get overwritten with newer dives. But the order in which the dive entries are downloaded isn't changed, and thus the most recent dive is no longer the last entry. For the first 400 dives, the order is always straightforward: D001 D002 ... D399 D400 The most recent dive is always the last entry, and no special processing is necessary. But once the limit is reached, the next few dives will start to overwrite the oldest dives, but the order remains unchanged: D401 D402 ... D399 D400 Thus in order to return the dives in the correct order (newest first), we can no longer assume the most recent dive is the last entry, and thus we need to locate it manually. The new algorithm is based on the assumption that the most recent dive will have the hightest timestamp. And to be able to walk backwards through all the entries, the list is assumed to be a circular list.
