User reviews

Salt equals Freshwater

I assume I must be doing something wrong, but the estimated weights should not be the same between salt and freshwater.

Nice app, needs work

I’ve been diving for few years. Downloaded the app out of curiosity, to check it out. App does not factor in difference between salt and fresh water, overestimates weight, does not properly calculate and account for buoyancy changes in aluminum tanks. If I entered the water with the weight estimated by the app, I would need two BCD to offset the led itself.

AMAZING

Very useful

Works accurately for all types of equipment. This is a valuable app for both new and veteran divers.
