The header of the example file should be:

(index)->(Cruise(Text),Station(Text),Type(Text),Time,Latitude,Longitude,depth,QVdepth,Temperature,QVtemp,Psal,QVPsal,pH,QVpH,Oxygen,QVOxygen,Fluor,QVFluor,Trans,QVTrans)
Cruise(Text)[] Station(Text)[] skip[] Type(Text)[] 
Time[fmt="yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"] Latitude[unit="degrees"] 
Longitude[unit="degrees"] skip[] skip[] skip[] depth[unit="meter"] QVdepth[] 
Temperature[unit="Celsius"] QVtemp[] Psal[] QVPsal[] pH[] QVpH[] Oxygen[] 
QVOxygen[] Fluor[] QVFluor[] Trans[] QVTrans[]

Somehow,  your data and header do not match.

Are you a student?  If so, I may be able to provide a zoom remote teaching 
class for you. You need to learn how to create a new projection for
the area of interest.
