Planning Dives
--------------
Subsurface supports planning of dives using open and closed circuit
equipment. This allows users to experiment with different plans and see
the effects of changing various parameters of the dives.
Subsurface includes a still rather experimental dive planning feature
that allows the creation of dive plans for both recreational scuba
equipment (open circuit) and rebreathers (closed circuit
equipment). This allows users to experiment with different plans and
see the effects of changing various parameters of the dives.
[WARNING]
Deco calculations with optionally displaying the ceiling is
done using a new implementation of the Buhlmann ZH16 algorithm with
gradient factors. Since the planner and our implementation of the
decompression algorithms are new and have received only a limited amount
of testing: +

**WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO PLAN DIVES SIMPLY BASED ON THE
RESULTS GIVEN HERE.**

- planned depths
- planned segment times
New in version 3.1 (and missing on the screen shot) is an option to
plan the last deco stop at 6m/20ft instead of the otherwise used final
stop at 3m/10ft.
There is also other information available for those who
are familiar with dive planning or use closed circuit rebreathers.
