User Manual: add text for bailout using PSCR
As the title says. A few tiny other changes to the user manual as well. Corrected a some typos (Thanks, @neolit123). Signed-off-by: Willem Ferguson <willemferguson@zoology.up.ac.za>

==== Planning for pSCR bailout
|

[icon="images/pscr_b1.jpg"]
|
||||||
|
[NOTE]
|
||||||
|
Open circuit diving is often part of a pSCR dive because, at shallow depths, the pO~2~ in the loop is often
|
||||||
|
too low for breathing and the shallow parts of a pSCR dive are often done on OC. The change
|
||||||
|
from rebreather mode to OC or _vice versa_ is indicated using bailout events. The image on the
|
||||||
|
left shows a pSCR dive plan (using three cylinders) where the shallow parts of the dive are performed using EAN50 in
|
||||||
|
order to have a sufficient pO~2~. The bottom part of the dive is perfomed with EAN31 (Cyl. 2 in the
|
||||||
|
*Available gases* table, also indicated in the *Dive planner points* table). The third cylinder,
|
||||||
|
also EAN31, is a bailout cylinder which is, initially, not used.
|
||||||
|
In this case the plan is for a cave dive with a bottom time of 20 minutes
|
||||||
|
and the turning point in the bottom part of the dive is at 16 minutes (i.e. ten minutes
|
||||||
|
into the bottom part of the dive). The orange pO~2~ graph indicates the equivalent OC pO~2~ during
|
||||||
|
the dive and the green pO~2~ indicates the estimated pO~2~ in the loop, the
|
||||||
|
whole dive being performed in rebreather mode. We wish to plan
|
||||||
|
for a worst-case scenario with bailout at the turning point (i.e. the furthest point into
|
||||||
|
the cave). In the *Dive planner points* table, change the *Dive mode* of the last two segments
|
||||||
|
to *OC* (indicated in the left-hand image, labled *A*, below). In this case the existing EAN31
|
||||||
|
cylinder (Cyl.2 in the *Dive planner points* table is used for bailout (i.e. the bailout
|
||||||
|
cylinder [Cyl. 3] has not been used yet). Note that the pO~2~ graph now indicates the appropriate
|
||||||
|
pO~2~ values, since the gas breathed now has the pO~2~ of an OC configuration. In order to switch
|
||||||
|
to the bailout cylinder (Cyl. 3), indicate this by selecting the appropriate cylinder in the *Dive planner points* table as
|
||||||
|
indicated in the image on the right, below (labeled *B*). The icon on the depth profile
|
||||||
|
now shows an overlapping bailout event with cylinder change. As in the graph on the left, the appropriate
|
||||||
|
pO~2~ values are shown in the pO~2~ graphs. The volumes of gas required can be obtained at the bottom of the
|
||||||
|
*Dive plan details* panel.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the case of a pSCR dive plan for open water, the worst-case scenario is probably bailout at the end of the deepest part of the dive.
|
||||||
|
Create a 1-minute segment at the end of the deepest part of the dive plan. This
|
||||||
|
last segment (represented by the bottom row of the *Dive planner points* table) is then manipulated using the *Dive mode* and *Used gas*
|
||||||
|
columns, as in the cave example, above. See the example of bailout for a CCR dive, below, that uses this approach.
