In the dive log, there is an option for gps coordinate entry. Sounds good, but there is also an X'ed out GPS button. I am guessing this is for future functionality. Anyone know if this is for future use with a purchased add on or is it something just disabled for now?
Second, time to fly. I had 4.5hrs fly, 17hrs desat on the clock. 22hrs before my flight and it was time to make a decision on diving or not.
One hour 25-40ft dive. Without the dive planner, I didn't want to start chancing anything so I did not dive though I am 100% sure the no fly time would still have been in the proper time range, though not full desat. That being said, the fly time calculator seems to be MUCH less than the standards I have read about elsewhere. Normally 18 hrs for one dive, 24 for multiples.
I'll admit, rule of thumb is conservative to a fault, but doing a series of boat dives (though with a 24hr period of no diving so I was desat before the days dive) over days and being told I can fly 4 hour hours after a dive that hit mid 80' depths for a short time seems... Odd.
So I want more information about how fly time is calculated and want to understand why it says it is safe to fly.
Are there studies done describing the calculation methods? I mean seriously, buying some extra time to be on land a bit more after a dive is great, but not always in the cards. I want to maximize my time making bubbles while not adding any real risks to my dives. If there is method to the madness and it is actually "safe" to make that one last dive, I want to make that one last dive!!!
