Include the user-manual.html file in the git tree This way when building Subsurface asciidoc is not necessary at all - except if you want to work on the user manual and want to see the result of your work. Previously the build wouldn't fail without asciidoc, but there would be no working user manual when pressing F1 from within the application. This solves the problem by shipping the HTML file with the sources. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>

<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to develop <em>Subsurface</em> in a way that serves its users in the best possible way,
it is important to have some user information. Upon launching <em>Subsurface</em>
after using this software for a week or so, a one-box user survey pops up. It is entirely
optional and the user controls what, if any, data are sent to the <em>Subsurface</em> development
team. Any data that the user chooses to send is extremely useful, and will only be
used to steer future development and to customise the software to fit the needs of
the <em>Subsurface</em> users. If one completes the survey, or clicks the option not to
be asked again, that should be the last communication of this nature one receives.
However, if one&#8217;s diving and/or subsurface habits change and one wishes to provide
another survey, this can be done by launching <em>Subsurface</em> with the <em>--survey</em> option on the
command line.</p></div>

Depending on the make of the dive computer and/or number of recorded dives, this
could take some time. Be patient. The <em>Download</em> dialogue
shows a
progress bar at the bottom of the dialogue (for some dive computers the
progress information could be inaccurate as we cannot determine how much
downloadable data there is until all data have been downloaded). When the
download of the dive information is complete, all the imported dives appear
in the <strong>Dive List</strong>, sorted by date and time. Disconnect and
switch off the dive
computer to conserve its battery power.
If a particular dive is selected, the <strong>Dive Profile</strong> panel shows an informative

<h4 id="_editing_several_selected_dives_simultaneously">5.2.6. Editing several selected dives simultaneously</h4>
Updated the included user manual html files Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2014-11-17 19:14:33 +00:00
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>METHOD 1</em>: After uploading dives from
a dive computer, the dive profiles of the uploaded dives are shown in the <strong>Dive profile</strong> tab, as well
as a few items of information
in the <strong>Dive Notes</strong> tab (e.g. water temperature) and in the <strong>Equipment</strong> tab (e.g. gas pressures
and gas composition). However the other fields remain empty.
It may be useful to simultaneously edit some of the
fields in the <strong>Dive Notes</strong> and <strong>Equipment</strong> tabs. For instance, it is possible
that a diver performed several dives during a single day, using identical equipment while diving at the same
dive site or with the same dive master and/or buddy or tags. Instead of completing the information for each
of these dives separately, one can select all the dives for that day in the <strong>Dive List</strong> and
insert the same information in the <strong>Dive Notes</strong> and <strong>Equipment</strong> fields that need
identical information. This is achieved by editing the dive notes or the equipment for any one
of the selected dives.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The simultaneous editing only works with fields that do not already contain information.
This means that, if some fields have been edited for a particular dive among the selected dives,
these are not changed while
editing the dives simultaneously. Technically, the rule for editing several dives simultaneously is:
if the data field being edited contains <em>exactly the same information</em> for all the dives that have been
selected, the new, edited information is substituted for all the selected dives, otherwise only the
edited dive is
changed, even though several dives have been selected in the <strong>Dive List</strong>. This greatly speeds
up the completion of the dive log after several similar dives.</p></div>

<em>CSV dive details</em>: This dive log format contains similar information to that of a
typical written dive log, e.g. dive date and time, dive depth, dive duration, names of
buddy and dive master and perhaps some information about cylinder pressures before and
after the dive, as well as a comment or two about the dive. All the data for a single

<em>CSV dive profile</em>: This dive log format includes much more information about a single

temperature at that depth, and cylinder pressure at that moment in time. Each line contains
the information for a single instant in time during the dive, 30 seconds after that
of the previous instant. Many lines
are required to complete the depth profile information for a single dive. This is a common

straightforward. Select
<em>Import &#8594; Import Log Files</em> from the main menu. In the resulting file
selection menu, select <em>CSV files</em> (towards the bottom right). This shows all .CSV files in the selected
directory. Select the file that needs to be imported. A configuration panel
appears as depicted below:</p></div>
<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">

</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Notice that, at the top left, there is a dropdown list containing pre-configured
settings for some of the more common dive computers and software packages
encountered by divers. If the <em>CSV</em> file being imported originated from any of
these pre-configured items, then select it. Otherwise use the <em>Manual Import</em>
option. The configuration panel also has dropdown lists for the specification of the appropriate
field separator (Tab, comma or semicolon), the date format used in the <em>CSV</em> file,
the time units (seconds, minutes or minutes:seconds), as well as the unit system
(metric or imperial). Selecting the appropriate options among these is critical for
the successful import of the data.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The last remaining task is to ensure that all the data columns have the appropriate
column headings. The top line of the white part of the data table contains the column
headings found in the <em>CSV</em> data file. The blue row of cells immediately above these

lists contains all the field names that <em>Subsurface</em> recognises. These names are
in blue balloons and can be moved using a drag-and-frop action. For
instance, <em>Subsurface</em> expects the column heading for Dive number (" # ") to be "Dive # ". If
the column heading that <em>Subsurface</em> expects is not in the blue cells, then drag the
appropriate column heading from the upper area and drop it in the appropriate blue
cell at the top of the table. To indicate the correct column for "Dive #", drag
the ballooned item labelled "Dive # " and drop it in the blue
cell immediately above the white cell containing " # ". This is depicted in

<td class="content"><em>CSV</em> is an abbreviation for a data file format: <em>Comma-Separated Variables</em>. It is a
file format allowing someone to view or edit the information using a text editor such
as Notebook (Windows), gedit (Linux) or TextWrangler (OS/X). The two main advantages of
the <em>CSV</em> format is that the data are easily editable as text without any proprietary software
and ensuring all information is human-readable, not being obscured by any custom or
proprietary attributes that proprietary software insert into files.
Because of its simplicity the <em>CSV</em> format is used
as an interchange format between many software packages, e.g. between
spreadsheet, statistical, graphics, database and diving software. Within <em>Subsurface</em>, <em>CSV</em> files can also
be used to import information from other sources such as spreadsheet-based dive logs and
even from some dive computers.</td>
</tr></table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>CSV</em> files can be created or edited with a normal text editor. The most important attribute of a
<em>CSV</em> file is the <em>field separator</em>, the character used to separate fields within a single line. The
field separator is frequently a comma, a colon, a SPACE character or a TAB character. When exporting data from
spreadsheet software, the field separator needs to be specified in order to create the <em>CSV</em> file. <em>CSV</em> files are
normally organised into a single line that provides the headers (or <em>field names</em>) of the data columns,
followed by the data, one record per line. Note that each field name
may comprise more than one word separated by spaces; for instance <em>Dive site</em>, below. Here is an example of
dive information for four dives using a comma as a field separator:</p></div>

</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It is clear why many people prefer the TAB-delimited format to the comma-delimited format. The
disadvantage is that one cannot see
the TAB characters. For instance, the space between <em>Dive</em> and <em>date</em> in the top line may be
a SPACE character or a TAB character (in this case it is a SPACE character: the tabs are before and
after <em>Dive date</em>). If the field names in the first line are long, the alignment with data in the other lines
cannot be maintained. Here is a highly simplified and shortened TAB-delimited example of a <em>CSV</em> dive log

</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When a <em>CSV</em> file is selected for import, <em>Subsurface</em> displays the column headers as well as some of the data
in the first few lines of the <em>CSV</em> file, making it much easier to work with <em>CSV</em> files.

<td class="content">The <em>CSV</em> import has a couple of caveats. One should avoid some special characters
like ampersand (&amp;), less than (&lt;), greater than (&gt;) and double quotes (") as part
of the numbers or text within a cell. The

size of the <em>CSV</em> file might cause problems. Importing 100 dives at a time
(<em>CSV dive details</em>) works, but larger files might exceed
limits of the parser used. When encountering problems with <em>CSV</em> imports, first try with
a smaller file to make sure everything works.</td>

The default mode for the <em>iphone</em> is automatic. When one adds a dive, the

date-times of the uploaded GPS localities. If one has entered the name of the dive
location in <em>Subsurface</em> before downloading the GPS coordinates, this name will take
precedence over downloaded one.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Since <em>Subsurface</em> matches GPS locations from the Android device and dive information from the
dive computer based on date-time data, automatic assignment of GPS data to dives is dependent
on agreement of the date-time information between these two devices. Although <em>Subsurface</em> has
a wide range tolerance, it may be unable to identify the appropriate dive if there is
a large difference between the time in the dive computer and that of the Android device,
resulting in no updates.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Similar date-times may not always be possible and there may be many reasons for this (e.g. time zones), or
<em>Subsurface</em> may be unable to decide which is the correct position for a dive (e.g. on repetitive
dives while running <em>background service</em> there may be several locations that would be
included in the time range that fit not only the first dive, but one or more subsequent dives as well).
A workaround for this situation to manually edit the date-time of a dive in the <em>Subsurface</em>
Dive List <strong>before</strong> downloading the GPS data and then to change the date-time back again <strong>after</strong>
downloading GPS data.</p></div>

many unnecessary locations not corresponding to the exact dive point but reflecting the boat&#8217;s route.
Currently these locations are difficult to delete from the server. In some situations it
is therefore prudent to clean up the list on the Android device before sending the dive points to the web
server by simply deleting the inappropriate locations. This might be necessary, for
instance, if one wants to keep the location list clear to see dives in the web service map display (see above).

<div class="paragraph"><p>This brings one to the time synchronisation dialog, shown below. The
critical problem is that the time
synchronisation is not perfect between the dive computer used during a dive,
and the camera used during that same dive. These two devices
often differ by several minutes. If <em>Subsurface</em> can achieve synchronisation,
then the exact times of photographs can be used to position photographs on
the dive profile.</p></div>

difference in time between the two devices can be determined. Actually, as long as the device
settings for time has not been changed in either device, one could write down the times of
both devices after the dive or even at the end of the day. One can then manually set the time
difference in the <em>Time shift</em> dialog. Towards the top of the dialog is a time setting tool
immediately under the heading <em>Shift times of image(s) by</em>, evident in figure <strong>A</strong> below.
If the camera time is 7 minutes later than that of the dive computer, set the time setting
tool to a value of 00:07. Select either the <em>earlier</em> or <em>later</em> radio button.
In the above example, the <em>earlier</em> option is appropriate, since the photos need to be shifted
7 minutes earlier (camera is 7 minutes ahead of dive computer). Ignore any "AM" or "PM" suffix
in that tool. Click the <em>OK</em> button and synchronisation is achieved.

the exact time the photograph was taken, using the metadata that the camera stores within
each photo. In order to do this, use the bottom half of the Time shift_ dialog. If one uses
the bottom part, the top part of the dialog is ignored. Click on
the horizontal bar entitled "<em>Select image of divecomputer showing time</em>. This brings up
a file browser with which one can select the photograph of the dive computer. Select the
photograph using the file browser and click on <em>OK</em>. This photograph of the dive computer
appears in the bottom panel of the <em>Shift times</em> dialog. Now <em>Subsurface</em> knows exactly
when the photograph has been taken. Now set the date-time dialog to the left of the photo
so that this tool reflects the date and time of the dive computer in the photo. When the
date-time tool has been set, <em>Subsurface</em> knows exactly what the time difference between
camera and dive computer is, and synchronisation is achieved. There is a
photograph with the face of the dive computer and with the date-time tool set to the
date-time on image <strong>B</strong> above.

<div class="paragraph"><p>Most underwater photographers store their photos on an external drive. If such a drive can be mapped
(almost always the case) the photos can be directly accessed by <em>Subsurface</em>. This facilitates the interaction
between <em>Subsurface</em> and an external repository of photos. When associating a dive profile with photos from an
external drive, the normal procedure of selection and synchronisation (see text above) is used.
However, after the external drive has been disconnected, <em>Subsurface</em> cannot access these photos any more.
If the display of photos is activated (using the toolbox to the left of the <em>Dive Profile</em>), the
program only shows a small white dot where each photo should be on the dive profile.
In addition the <em>Photos</em> tab only shows the file names of the photos. This is normal behaviour.
If, later, the external drive with the photos is connected again, the photos can be seen in the normal way.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Subsurface</em> easily handles dives involving more than one cylinder. Sidemount dive logging involves
three steps:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
<strong>During the dive, recording cylinder switch events</strong>. Since sidemount diving normally involves two
cylinders with air or with the same gas mixture, <em>Subsurface</em> distinguishes among these different
cylinders. In contrast, most dive computers that allow gas switching only distinguish among different
<em>gases</em> used, not among different <em>cylinders</em> used. This means that when sidemount dives are downloaded
from these dive computers, the events of switching between cylinders with the same gas are not downloaded. This may mean
that one may have to keep a written log of cylinder switch times using a slate, or (if the dive computer
has this facility) marking each cylinder switch with a bookmark that can be retrieved later. Returning
from a dive with the information about cylinder changes is the only tricky part of logging sidemount dives.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>Within <em>Subsurface</em> describe the cylinders used during the dive</strong>. The diver needs to provide the
specifications of the different cylinders, using the <strong>Equipment</strong> tab of the <strong>Dive Info Panel</strong> (see
image below where two 12 litre cylinder were used).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>Indicate cylinder change events on the <em>Subsurface</em> dive profile</strong>. Once the dive log has been imported
from a dive computer into <em>Subsurface</em>, the cylinder switch events need to be indicated on the dive profile.
Cylinder changes are recorded by right-clicking at the appropriate point on the dive profile and then
selecting <em>Add gas change</em>. A list of the appropriate cylinders is shown with the
currently used cylinder greyed out. In the image below Tank 1 is greyed out, leaving only Tank 2
to be selected. Select the appropriate cylinder. The cylinder change is then indicated on the dive
profile with a cylinder symbol. If the <strong>Tank Bar</strong> is activated using the toolbar to the left of the
profile, then the cylinder change is also indicated on the Tank Bar (see image below). After all
the cylinder change events have been recorded on the dive profile, the correct cylinder pressures
for both cylinders are shown on the dive profile, as inthe image below.

breathable oxygen concentration:
a) remove carbon dioxide from the gas that has been exhaled
b) regulate the oxygen concentration to remain within safe diving limits.
Currently, within <em>Subsurface</em>, the Poseidon MkVI Discovery is the best
supported CCR dive computer. The CCR interface of <em>Subsurface</em> is currently experimental
and under active development. In contrast to a conventional recreational
dive computer, a CCR system computer does not allow the download of a log
containing multiple dives. Rather, each dive is stored independently. This
means that <em>Subsurface</em> cannot download a dive log directly from a CCR
dive computer, but that it imports CCR dive logs in the same way that it
imports dive log data from other digital databases.</td>

additional information should be transferred with the dive profile. This information is shown in the text box
on the right hand side of the panel (see image <strong>B</strong>, below). You can easily edit the message that will be posted

UDDF is a generic format that enables communication among many dive computers
and computer programs.
Yet some more changes to Companion part of user manual A last few changes before 4.1. The first figure in "Using Companion app" needs a third part. This was inserted. Which, in turn, affected the last figure in that section. So that was also changed accordingly. Few tiny changes to text to clean up references to figures.

by the users.
The HTML dive log contains most of the information and also contains a search
option to search the dive log. HTML export is specified on the second tab of the
Export dialog (image <strong>B</strong> above). A typical use of this option is to export all one&#8217;s
dives to a smartphone or a tablet where it would serve as a very portable record
of dives useful for dive companies that wish to verify the dive history of a diver.
This does away with the need to carry one&#8217;s original logbook with one

<div class="paragraph"><p>For each diver, dive log information is highly important. Not only is it a record
of diving activities for one&#8217;s own pleasure, but it is important information required
for admission to further training courses or (sometimes) even diving sites. The
security of the dive log is therefore critical. In order to have a dive log that is
resistant to failure of a home computer hard drive, loss or theft of equipment, the
Cloud is an obvious solution. This also has the added benefit that one can access one&#8217;s dive
log from anywhere in the world without having to carry it with oneself. For this
reason, facilities such as <em>divelogs.de</em> and <em>Diving Log</em> offer facilities to store
dive log information on the Internet. Although <em>Subsurface</em> does not offer integrated
Cloud storage of dive logs, it is simple to achieve this using several of the
existing facilities on the Internet.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For instance
<a href="http://www.dropbox.com/"><em>Dropbox</em></a>
offers a free application that allows
files on the Dropbox servers to be seen as a local folder on one&#8217;s desktop computer.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>Dropbox</em> program creates a copy of the <em>Dropbox</em> Internet Cloud content on one&#8217;s
desktop computer. When the computer is connected to the Internet, the Internet
content is automatically updated. Therefore both the <em>Open</em> and <em>Save</em> of dive logs are done
using the local copy of the dive log in the local <em>Dropbox</em> folder, so there&#8217;s no need
for a direct internet connection. If the local copy is modified, e.g. by adding a dive,
the remote copy in the <em>Dropbox</em> server in the Cloud will be automatically updated whenever
Internet access is available.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In this way a dive log in
one&#8217;s <em>Dropbox</em> folder can be accessed seamlessly from the Internet and can
be accessed from any place with Internet access. Currently there are no costs

Suunto Vyper (Stinger, Mosquito, D3, Vyper, Vytec,
Cobra, Gekko and Zoop) family of dive computers are supported. A large number of settings of these dive computers
can be read and changed to different values. As a first step, ensure that the appropriate hardware driver
is installed for the dive computer and that the device name of the dive computer is known.
See <a href="#_appendix_a_operating_system_specific_information_for_importing_dive_information_from_a_dive_computer">APPENDIX A</a> for information on how to do this.</p></div>

Not all dive computers report ceiling values. If the dive computer does report it, it may differ
from the ceilings calculated by <em>Subsurface</em>. This is because of the different algorithms and gradient factors available for calculating ceilings, as well as the dynamic way that a

the gradient factor at depth and GF_High is used just below the surface.
At intermediate depths gradient factors between GF_Low and GF_High are used.
Gradient factors add conservatism to the nitrogen exposure during a dive, in a
similar way that many dive computers have a conservatism setting. The lower
the value of a gradient factor, the more conservative the calculations are with
respect to nitrogen loading and the deeper the ascent ceilings are. Gradient
factors of 20/60 are considered conservative and values of 60/90 are considered
harsh. Checking <strong>GFLow at max depth</strong> box causes GF_Low to be used at the
deepest depth of a dive. If this box is not checked, GF_Low is applied at
all depths deeper than the first deco stop. For more information see:

use the default setpoint value. Then, different setpoints can be specified for dive segments
in the <em>Dive planner points</em> table. A zero setpoint
means the diver bails out to open circuit mode for that segment. The decompression is always calculated
using the setpoint of the last manually entered segment. So, to plan a bail out ascent for a
CCR dive, add a one-minute dive segment to the end with a setpoint value of 0. The decompression
algorithm does not switch deco-gases automatically while in CCR mode (i.e. when a positive setpoint is specified) but, of course, this is calculated for bail out ascents.</p></div>

The parameters of the pSCR diver can be set by selecting <em>File &#8594; Preferences &#8594; Graph</em>
from the main menu, where the gas consumption calculation takes into account the pSCR dump
ratio (default 10:1) as well as the metabolism rate. The calculation also takes the oxygen drop
accross the mouthpiece of the rebreather into account. If the
pO<sub>2</sub> drops below what is considered a save value, a warning apears in the <em>Dive plan
details</em>. A typical pSCR configuration is with a single cylinder and one or more bail-out
cylinders. Therefore the setup of the <em>Available gases</em> and the <em>Dive planner points</em> tables
are very similar to that of a CCR dive plan, described above. However, no oxygen setpoints
are specified for pSCR dives. Below is a dive plan for a pSCR dive. The dive is comparable
to that of the CCR dive above, but note the longer ascent duration due to the lower oxygen
in the loop due to the oxygen drop accross the mouthpiece of the pSCR equipment.</p></div>

<td class="content">The Uwatec Galileo dive computers use infra red (IrDA) communication
between the dive computer and Subsurface. The Uwatec hardware uses
a USB dongle based on the serial infra-red (SIR) protocol and the
MSC7780 IrDA controller manufactured by MosChip
and marketed by Scubapro and some electronics companies.
Under Linux, the kernel
already provides for communication using the IrDA protocol. However,
the user additionally needs to load a driver for the IrDA interface
with the dive computer. The easiest way is to load the <strong>irda-tools</strong>
package from the <a href="http://irda.sourceforge.net/docs/startirda.html">Linux IrDA Project</a>.

<h2 id="S_Appendix_D">18. APPENDIX D: Exporting a spreadsheet to CSV format</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Many divers keep a diving log in some form of a digital file, commonly a spreadsheet
with various fields of information. These logs can be easily imported into <em>Subsurface</em> after the
spreadsheet is converted in a .CSV file.
This section explains the procedure to convert a diving logbook stored in a spreadsheet
to a .CSV file that will later be imported from <em>Subsurface</em>.
Creating a .CSV is a straightforward task, although the procedure is somewhat different
according to which spreadsheet program is used.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The first step is to organize the diving data in the spreadsheet, so that the first row
contains the names (or titles) of each column and the information for each dive is stored in a single row.
<em>Subsurface</em> supports many data items (Dive #, Date,
Time, Duration, Location, GPS, Max Depth, Mean Depth, Buddy, Notes, Weight and Tags).
The user can organize dive data following a few simple rules:</p></div>
<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>
Date: use one of the following formats: yyyy-mm-dd, dd.mm.yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Duration: the format should be minutes:seconds.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Unit system: only one unit system shold be used (i.e., no mixture between imperial and metric units)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Tags and buddies: values should be separated using a comma.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
GPS position: users must use decimal degrees, e.g. 30.22496 30.821798
</p>
</li>

<div class="paragraph" id="SAC_CALCULATION"><p><em>Question</em>: I dived with a 12.2 l tank, starting with 220 bar and ending with 100 bar, and I calculate a different SAC compared what <em>Subsurface</em> calculates. Is <em>Subsurface</em>
miscalculating?</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>Answer</em>: Not really. What happens is that <em>Subsurface</em> actually calculates gas

2014-02-14 06:41:36 +00:00
consumption differently - and better - than you expect.
In particular, it takes the incompressibility of the gas into account.
Traditionally, Gas consumption and SAC should be:
<code>consumption = tank size x (start pressure - end pressure)</code></p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>and that&#8217;s true for an ideal gas, and it&#8217;s what you get taught in dive theory.
But an "ideal gas" doesn&#8217;t actually exist, and real gases actually don&#8217;t compress
linearly with pressure. Also, you are missing the fact that one atmosphere of
pressure isn&#8217;t actually one bar.
So the <strong>real</strong> calculation is:</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><code>consumption = (amount_of_air_at_beginning - amount_of_air_at_end)</code></p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>where the amount of air is <strong>not</strong> just "tank size times pressure in bar".
It&#8217;s a combination of: "take compressibility into account" (which is a fairly
small issue under 220 bar - you&#8217;ll see more differences when you do high-pressure
tanks with 300bar) and "convert bar to atm" (which is the majority of your discrepancy).
Remember: one ATM is ~1.013 bar, so without the compressibility, your gas use is:</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><code>12.2*((220-100)/1.013)</code></p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>which is about 1445, not 1464. So there was 19 l too much in your simple
calculation that ignored the difference between 1 bar and one ATM.
The compressibility does show up above 200 bar, and takes that 1445 down

about eight litres more, so you really did use only about 1437 l of air at surface pressure.</p></div>

Or be sad: your cylinder contains less air than you thought it did.
And as mentioned, the "contains less air than you thought it did" really
starts becoming much more noticeable at high pressure. A 400 bar really does not
contain twice as much air as a 200 bar one. At lower pressures, air acts pretty much like an ideal gas.</p></div>

but then come back up and wait five minutes for your buddies, your dive computer may say
that your dive is 50 minutes long - because you have fifty minutes worth of samples - but
subsurface will say it&#8217;s 45 minutes - because you were actually diving for 45 minutes.
It&#8217;s even more noticeable if you do things like divemastering the initial OW dives, when
you may stay in the water for a long time, but spend most of it at the surface. And then
