Dive plans have many characteristics in common with dive logs (dive profile, dive notes, etc). +After a dive plan has been saved, the dive details and gas calculations are saved in +the Dive Notes tab. While a dive plan is being designed, it can be printed using +the Print button in the dive planner. This prints the dive details and gas calculations +in the Dive Plan Details panel of the dive planner. However, after the plan has been saved, it is +represented in a way very similar to a dive log and the gas calculations cannot be +accessed in the same way as during the planning process. The only way to print the +dive plan is to use the File→Print facility on the main menu in the same way as for dive logs.
