 EqPac bottle quality review summary from DMO
 
 DMO cautionary note:
 The DMO suspects a misalignment of bottle numbers with corresponding
 depths/pressures for event number 02041830.  In question are the values
 reported for bottles 17 and 14 at nominal depths of 60 and 90 meters.
 These depths align correctly with bottles 18 and 15.  Bottles 17 and 14 
 should have depths of 70 and 100 meters.

 These correlations are based on the event/bottle number/depths reported
 by Murray in his final bottle cast file.

 event       event number from event log; a unique 
             number composed of elements of date 
             and time.  Decoded as follows (MMDDHHmm):
             where MM = month, DD = day, HH = hour, 
             mm = minutes.  Date/time reported as 
             local Hawaii time (+10 time zone).
