Bezels of Diving watches donīt make sense *PIC*

Hi! Although Iīm not diving I am A bit disturbed about the bezel design of my 2054.50 . itīs just that it doesnīt really make sense to me althouh any other divers watches have the same design too. What are the distinguished marks after the spot for? Arenīt the last minutes of the diving session more important than the first? If you have enough oxygen for twenty minutes you put the marker to the minute hand and then you have to get out before itīs on the 20. Am I right, please correct me? Wouldnīt it be easier putting the 20 to the minute hand and dive until it reaches the marker if the bezel was designed for this. You could even find it in darkness, the last minutes are better readable...?? I have posted a manipulated photo in the yahoo-group called "watchout" in case the link doesnīt work. Whatīs your opinion? I am excited to know what you think. Ooops onthe photo in the club the 50 is obviously in wrong place (could be fatal either) but I hope you know what I mean...
