We should do this.

I think we need to stop hiding the tanks entirely. We do it much too
eagerly, and it's been deadly. It's also caused bugs, because
subsurface actually ends up silently internally using some of the
tanks that aren't shown.

Mind sending me an xml file with your dive just as a test-case, I'll
take a look.
