4.7. How to plan a dive using the Dive planner

Before planning your first dive, go through the planner settings and configure them according
to your personal preference. Access the planner and adjust settings under Main menu » Dive
planner.
1. First set the values for:
personal gas consumption (default value: 25 L/min / 0.90 ft
•
tank pressure (default value: 200 bar / 3000 psi)
•
tank size (default value: 12 liters / 80 ft
•
NOTE: It is important to adjust these values first to get the gas calcualtions right.
2. Use the lower or upper buttons to decrease or increase the values. If you are not sure
what your personal gas consumption is, we recommend using the default value of 25
3
L/min (0.90 ft /min).
NOTE: Estimated gas time is calculated based on tank pressure at start minus 35
bar (510 psi).
In View planner you can see the calculated plan for your dive.
The calculated no decompression time is based on dive depth and gas mixture. Any residual
nitrogen from previous dives, as well as surface time, is taken into consideration. Gas time is
dependent on the dive depth, personal consumption and tank size/pressure.
