Dive Kit is a decompression planner for technical divers, and a set of dive tools for every diver. The Deco Planner covers open-circuit, nitrox, trimix and CCR dives on Bühlmann ZH-L16C with gradient factors. It is the only paid tool: a one-time lifetime purchase or a subscription. The other eleven tools are free, with no ads and no account. Large text for direct sun and large buttons for wet hands. Works offline. Deco Planner - Multi-level profiles, with stops between levels when the plan needs them and gas switches where the PPO₂ allows - Gradient factors, last stop, ascent rates, oxygen breaks, stop rounding (1 min, 30 s or 1 s) and PPO₂ limits per gas, all set per plan - Contingency tabs: deeper, longer, lost gas, or your own. Each shows the change in run time, TTS and CNS against the base plan - Modifiers: working and deco SRMV and a delay at depth, on the base plan or on one contingency - CCR: setpoint schedules by depth, diluent switches, dilout, and open-circuit bailout from the end of the profile, after any level, at a run time or on ascent - Gas per cylinder: remaining pressure at each stop, a reserve per cylinder, ascent pressure, and what happens when a cylinder runs dry - Warnings with the number and the limit: PPO₂, END, gas density, CNS, OTU, hypoxia, reserve - Repetitive dives, with tissue loading carried over the surface interval - Plan variants, overlaid on one graph - Share by QR code or link; anyone can open a shared plan without paying. Export the table or a slate as PDF, image or text, ready to print How the engine was checked Dive Kit's engine is an independent implementation of ZH-L16C, written from the published papers. It was cross-checked on 33 dive profiles. The method and the differences found are published at divekit.app/docs/engine/how-it-works/. Agreement shows the math matches. It does not show a plan is safe. Free Tools - Best Mix: nitrox and trimix by MOD, helium by END, with narcotic and density limits - Gas Specs: EAD, PPO₂, END and gas density, with warnings at your limits - Gas Usage: multi-level consumption, turn pressure, thirds to sixths - SAC/SRMV: your breathing rate from a real dive - Buoyancy: weighting from suit, body, gear and water, with lift and overweighting checks - Blend Planner: partial-pressure and continuous blending with real-gas corrections and expected analyzer readings - Mix Result: what a top-up or a decant gives you - Checklists: your own pre-dive routines and rebreather presets, with timers that keep running when you close the app - Cylinders, Converter, Dive Signals: 90+ illustrated, searchable signals and 35+ cylinder specifications Learning Tutorials on gas physics, decompression theory and trimix, and help on key results. Certification Wallet 25+ agencies and 190+ certifications. Add photos of your cards and show one full screen at the dive centre. Your profile holds your dive insurance details. Options - Offline, on phones and tablets - Eight languages: English, German, Turkish, Swedish, Russian, Polish, Simplified Chinese, Korean - Five styles, each in light and dark, and a choice of two app icons - Automatic backup to your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive, if you turn it on No account. Your data stays on your device unless you share a plan or turn on backup. Analytics and crash reports can be turned off in Settings. Warning and Disclaimer Dive Kit is a reference and planning aid for trained divers, and that covers all its tools. It is not a dive computer and not a substitute for training. The deco planner is for divers trained in decompression diving, and gas blending is for trained blenders. Results can be wrong, so check every result against a second source. Dive Kit is provided as is, and you use it at your own risk.
