## What is Baltic Deco Planner?

Tool for planning staged decompression dives for technical divers.

Supports open circuit and closed circuit rebreathers, multi-level and repetitive dives, nitrox, trimix, altitude adjustments, metric and imperial measurements.

Keeps track of gas consumption, OTUs and CNS. Per dive configurable ascent/descent rates, last stop/stop interval settings and RMV/MOR. Any combination of OC and CCR planning is possible (CCR dives with OC levels/deco etc.). 

One tap access to lost-gas, bailout, deeper & longer contingency profiles. 

Constantly displays updated plan details as changes are made, and uses color highlighting to suggest best mixes.

Dive plans can be stored in a bookmark folder for convenient reuse. Plans can also be exported via email or pasted into any other app.

Features both VPM-B (based on Erik C. Bakers work) with configurable conservatism and ZHL16-B with configurable gradient factors for calculating decompression profiles. Also supports VPM-B/GFS.

### 3/5 — Some graph probs with iPad

*2025-12-25, version 1.0.2*

Can’t easly swipe to’ dive graph. The only way is rotate my device…not properly comfortable

### 5/5 — Bão dimais

*2025-03-25*

O trem é bão dimais da conta sô.
Mió que tá teno.

### 1/5 — No updates any more

*2025-02-22, version 1.0.2*

Great app but unfortunately no updates for 3 years. Doesn’t seem to be supported so can’t get print bug fixed. Sad.

### 5/5 — Very Useful App😎👍

*2024-10-05, version 1.0.2*

Mirroring other reviews, my only real complaint is that there is no FSW/FFW unit selection.  Diving in Alberta Canada is all altitude diving and all freshwater.  Profiles are only shown in FSW. 

App has really good conservatism built-in for PSD applications when compared to handwritten dive schedule planning.   Worth the money for ease of access and especially quick dive schedule modifications.

Gave it five stars, but would’ve done 4.75 if I could for no ffw setting

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2024-10-03, version 1.0.2*

Es un excelente software de planificación que se mantiene vigente hoy en día. Sencillo y fácil de usar.

### 4/5 — Perfect, just some minor bugs

*2024-03-06, version 1.0.2*

Dear team, thanks for your app

Can you fix a bug concerning the Export->Print feature. On iPhone 15 with the last update (17.3.1), the print view disappears immediately without opportunity of having time to send to the printer. 

But nice job !!!!

### 5/5 — Die App für ernsthafte Taucher

*2023-11-03, version 1.0.2*

Diese App ist jeden Cent wert! Jeder Tauchplan lässt sich frei, mit diversen Rechenmodellen, auch noch bis kurz vor dem Tauchgang planen. Alle Parameter sind frei einstellbar - Botto/Traveltime etc./He/N2/O2 etc. / Gaswechselzeit /CNS etc. Lässt nicht zu wünschen übrig!

### 4/5 — Amazing app

*2023-09-24*

The app is great. A couple of things I would like to see is gas volume calculations at each stop, the ability to gas plan using your buddies SAC for an out of gas scenario, and last is gas density. I am aware you can run volume for the out of gas diver by manipulating your dive setting, but it’s an extra step an potential human factor that could potentially be missed during planning. I’d love to see diver 1 gas consumption at each stop, and the ability to add the out of gas diver 1 + diver 2 gas usage to exit. I prefer to also plan my gas density to reduce my CO2 retention. As of now I have to run an Excel spreadsheet to calculate it. I am definitely a fan of the app.

### 5/5 — Langage

*2023-09-14, version 1.0.2*

Très bonne application dommage qu’elle ne soit pas encore en français ….

### 5/5 — Cave Diver

*2022-07-28*

This is a very user friendly app that I use to plan all of my deeper or longer dives. Nice and simple to use.
