Me and my dive team do it all the time. We quite frequently run numbers on different gases, depth, time, deco gas, whatever on our cell's just to figure out what we can/should do for sort of dive. Eg, We do a 55m dive on 21/35, can we deco 50% or will it take to long time in the cold water so we need to bring the o2 along. Will my 100 bar AL80 with 50% do, or do i need more gas? Our plans change all the time, and we always iterate our plans in the team and just try to figure out what works today. I've used multideco on android quite a bit, and sometimes the planner on my OSTC 3. Right now the OSTC 3 is getting support for calculating gas usage which is quite important, but its still a bit clumsy to iterate different plans on. A whole touch screen is better input than a two-button-interface. I would just love a simple planner. For me it could be as simple as: Depth, time, gas, deco-gasses, and it just does drop-stone-mode and gives me whatever is in the "Dive plan details" view. ( I even might wire it up myself, now when i think about it =) //Anton -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604 _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
