Suunto Dive Planner
The Suunto Dive Planner - a new addition to Suunto Dive Manager PC software version 3.0.0 and higher - is designed to simplify the planning of dive profiles, gases, and back-up plans. The easy-to-use graphical planner allows you to try variations of depth, time, gases, and partial pressures without having to continually recalculate. The planner calculates all changes instantly and presents the results on an easy-to-read graph.
Planning your dive profile and gases
As you plan and simulate different dive profiles, the dive planner creates ascent profiles based on your selected gases. By adjusting your decompression gases, you can see what effect the changes have on other parameters like decompression time and partial pressure.
When ready, you can simply transfer information relating to planned gases, and other dive-critical data, from the PC to your compatible dive computer with the included USB cable. This conveniently removes the need to copy all the calculations onto a slate. But if you prefer to take a slate in addition to your dive computer, simply print out your dive plan with the software.
Once you're happy with your plan, you can also use the dive planner to create back-up plans. As you create different scenarios, missing a gas change or sharing a tank with a buddy for example, your profile is changed accordingly.
Mixing gases and comparing dives
The dive planner also gives you partial pressure and continuous flow gas mixing instructions for your planned dive, which you can print out and take to a dive shop if you're not mixing yourself.
The Suunto Dive Planner enables you to plan dive series based on your actual dive profiles - not planned dive profiles - making the plans for later dives in the series more accurate. The planner also allows you to compare the planned dive and the actual dive and supports the analysis of up to eight gases. This helps you pinpoint elements of both your planning and diving that may need some fine-tuning, meaning you can make future dives even more successful.
The Suunto Dive Planner demo is fully compatible with Suunto HelO2 dive computer for technical divers. Watch the Dive Planner demo on Suunto TV.
