To build additional safety into the dive plan (over and above those of
recreational dive tables), specify gradient factors less than 100% (<em>GFHigh</em>
and <em>GFLow</em> under the <em>Planning</em> heading in the planner). On the other hand,
to approximate the values in recreational dive tables, set the gradient
factors to 100. By reducing the values of GFHigh and GFLow to values below
100, one can build more safety into a dive. Decreasing the values of the
gradient factors below 100 will shorten the duration of the dive. This is
the price of a larger safety margin. Reasons for using gradient factors less
than 100 may be the age of the diver, the health of a diver, or unusual
conditions such as cold water or strong currents. Realistic conservative
values for the gradient factors are GFLow=40% and GFHigh=80%. This allows
you to create a cusom dive plan, suited to yourself as well as the dive
conditions.

For the planner to work it's therefore crucial to log previous dives in
_Subsurface_ before doing dive planning.
Secondly, recreational dive tables are not designed to build additional
safety features into a dive. NDL times derived from dive tables often take
divers close to the limit where decompression sickness (DCS) can arise. The
Subsurface dive planner allows a diver to build more safety features into a
dive plan, preventing recreational divers from getting close to the limits
of getting a DCS hit. This is performed by specifying appropriate gradient
factors for a dive plan, as explained below.

- To build additional safety into the dive plan (over and above those of
recreational dive tables), specify gradient factors less than 100% (_GFHigh_
and _GFLow_ under the _Planning_ heading in the planner). On the other hand,
to approximate the values in recreational dive tables, set the gradient
factors to 100. By reducing the values of GFHigh and GFLow to values below
100, one can build more safety into a dive. Decreasing the values of the
gradient factors below 100 will shorten the duration of the dive. This is
the price of a larger safety margin. Reasons for using gradient factors less
than 100 may be the age of the diver, the health of a diver, or unusual
conditions such as cold water or strong currents. Realistic conservative
values for the gradient factors are GFLow=40% and GFHigh=80%. This allows
you to create a cusom dive plan, suited to yourself as well as the dive
conditions.
Below is an image of a dive plan for a recreational dive at 30 meters with

over the differnent stops in a way proportional to the stop length, i.e. add more of the
additional minutes to the longer, shallower stops. The given times refer to the
duration of the decompression phase and do not include the extended bottom time!
This way of altering dive plans becomes inaccurate for large deviations from the original
plan. So it should not be trusted for more than a few minutes or meters of
deviations from the planned bottom time. Checking this option creates a lot of additional computation,
