Deco planning app for android

[J-Vo]

I gave up and just use SubSurface. If I'm at the dive site and really need it, the Shearwater planner usually works well enough.

I have my reasons for not purchaseing MultiDeco, but as far as I have seen it works fine, and I believe you get both the desktop and mobile versions with the license.

You have to buy desktop and mobile separately.

Thanks for the correction.

For my normal planning, I use SubSurface on my desktop, and take an ancient laptop to the dive site for last minute edits.

However, I just gave Diveplanner Tec & Rec a spin, and it looks very capable (multi-level and repetitive) with a great interface. Free for single-gas, about $20 for your trimix needs.

I teach the dive planning mode on a shearwater.

Ask @rob.mwpropane , he’s tried all the sketchy android deco apps

Very true, even some European ones... nothing worked quite as well as MultiDeco.​

​

It's the only mobile app that I've found that will do back to back dive plans and matches my SW (on an Android).​

​

Techdeco is great, is free, but takes a little tweaking to match SW and is only good for one dive.​

I've been using diveProMe+ for some time, without any issues. Using a shearwater and one OSTC during the dives, and "no surprises" that vomputers have been stricter than plan.

Max depth 60 meter and run times up to 75 minutes.

I have to agree with the above. Yes, I'm an old goat (early 70s) but I think a proper paper-based plan which leads to a proper tech dive computer setting beats some downloaded app any day, any dive.

Where does the paper-based plan come from? (And how does it lead to a "proper tech dive computer setting"?) Buhlmann GF is the same model whether implemented on a mainframe, a desktop computer, a smart phone/tablet, or a Shearwater dive computer.

Concerning MultiDeco (I've been using both the desktop and mobile version for some years), my personal experience :

- bought the Mac version, then moved to Linux, so several machines were involved : paid the fee only once, just need to ask for a new registration code through the required dialogue box on the software, and you'll get a new one in a few hours

- bought the iOS app, then switched on Android : see above

Money well spent and good customer service, imho.

Concerning planning : with both versions, once in a while a one minute difference with what the Planning mode of my SW Petrel 1 suggests. Using it for Air OC/CCR, Nitrox and Trimix diving.
