These dive plans are for example only. Do not dive with them or use them for anything other than as examples of the results of calculations performed by XS. These are just the answers to equations, they do not represent safe dive plans.
As far as we know, XS for Windows is the only software which will plan a cave dive straight from the survey.
| The
Emergence du Ressel in the Lot Region of France:
Entrance at 9m, descends to 12m after 170m distance, from there to 28m after another 180m, it drops to 40m over approx. 60m distance and then to 44m after about another 50m The diver will be free swimming at about 12m/min |
The survey
can be entered directly into XS:
9m >> 12m
170m; Air
Using standard Buhlmann with 10% safety factor: 6m for 15min Air This is assuming that the diver is swimming at a reasonable 12m/min. If the diver was using a scooter, then XS could be told that the diver is travelling at around 30m/min, and the program would tell you that it was now a no-deco dive. If the diver swims slower (10m/min) then the deco stop becomes 27min. XS is the only decompression planner capable of planning cave dives straight from the survey. |
