dive planning

I want to pose a physics problem where a tech diver attempts to obey rule of thirds. (Reminder, physics problems take place in physics land, where there is no friction or air resistance, no changes in SAC, no current, no changes in swim speed, etc. ) So, the diver plans a square profile with...

Dear community - I've been working hard on improving divers-hub.com. A few updates: we now have 42 dive operators in the platform (from Stuart to Key West) from which 31 have live diving calendars in divers-hub.com. We have also updated the "Operators" section to provide a better view...

Hey all! So, some context: I do most of my diving in 20-40 ft of high current, low vis water. I have a "buddy" on these dives, but realistically, if we're not using a tether (which we do if things seem risky today, but usually not as it's an entanglement risk) we're unable to readily come to...

Hello all! I am about to take my Into tech course and I want to come up with a training schedule to practice a variety of semi technical skills over the course of the summer (15 weeks). I live in New England and my main trining site will be a local pond that goes down to around 60ft and has a...

TLDR; Using a non-purpose built AI will kill you if you don't check it for every detail, at which point you should just do it yourself. So I overheard something about using AI (ChatGPT) for planning a dive, and worse, a Tec dive! I thought this went without saying, but please do NOT do this...

I'm getting back to diving (retaking some courses) and bought an Atmos Mission One. Since it doesn't give PG info, I was trying to find information on using it to determine SI between dives. The dive planning mode basically only give me NDL for the first dive. Without going back to the dive...

Hi all, Would love to hear feedback on the approach I am envisioning for managing real life multi-level long deco dives on CCR. Below is my approach and a couple of simulated examples to show how it would work in the water. Configuration is CCR with on-board oxygen; 2 AL80 tanks for diluent and...

I have a quick question for anyone who has been using the Suunto DM5 software for dive planning. I am not very familiar with it, I use a couple of other planning software applications. When planning a CCR dive using the software, there is a bailout option. What does the 'is lost' tick box...

As I progress upon my diver journey, I find myself wanting to log my dive plans -- time, depth, plans at depth. Partly, I want to do this to see how closely I'm able to match my planned dive profile. Partly, I want to dial in some of the more technical aspects of those dives that might revolve...

Hi all, I have a few questions pertaining to dive planning in the technical realm that I hope other members on this board can enlighten me on. 1.How do divers doing technical dives with bottom timers or gauge mode only actually go about their decompression planning? My impression is that they...
