Dive Toolbox vs Time to Surface

DiveToolbox — Professional dive planning and gas calculation tools for recreational and technical divers. DECOMPRESSION DIVE PLANNER Plan single-level and multi-level dives using the Bühlmann ZH-L16C algorithm with configurable gradient factors. Get detailed ascent profiles, gas switch schedules, and comprehensive safety analysis including CNS, OTU, gas density, and END monitoring. GAS BLENDING CALCULATOR Step-by-step fill instructions for Nitrox and Trimix blending. Supports partial pressure and continuous flow methods with real-time MOD calculations. MOD / EAD / END CALCULATOR Instantly calculate Maximum Operating Depth, Equivalent Air Depth, and Equivalent Narcotic Depth for any gas mix. GRADIENT FACTORS EXPLORER Visualize how GF Low and GF High affect no-decompression limits and decompression schedules. SAC RATE CALCULATOR Calculate your Surface Air Consumption rate from dive data to improve gas planning accuracy. ROCK BOTTOM CALCULATOR Determine minimum gas reserves for safe ascent, including emergency scenarios with configurable safety margins. SUCCESSIVE DIVE PLANNER Plan repetitive dives accounting for residual nitrogen and helium tissue loading from previous dives. UNIT CONVERSIONS Convert between metric and imperial units for depth, pressure, volume, and temperature.

Staged decompression from 15 to 51 metres — deeper to 56 with a warning — on six bottom gases, with one deco bottle. Runtime, stops, minimum gas and both cylinder fills, before you kit up. Free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no account. WHAT IT PLANS • Staged decompression, 15 m to 51 m, and to 56 m with a warning rather than a refusal • Six bottom gases: EAN32, triox 30/30, EAN28, air, 21/35 and 18/45 • One decompression gas — EAN50 or oxygen — in an AL80, AL50 or AL40 • A second deep segment before the ascent, deeper or shallower than the first • Twin cylinders on the back, yours to pick • Bühlmann ZH-L16C, gradient factors yours to set, 20/85 by default • ppO2 1.2 bar working and 1.6 bar at a stop by default — stricter than the 1.4 most divers trained at. Both adjustable • Descent 20 m/min, 9 m/min to the first stop, 3 m/min between stops, and the last 6 m at 1 m/min. Stops every 3 m with the last at 6 m. All four rates adjustable • Metric or imperial THE GAS PLAN Back gas fill and turn pressure on thirds, halves or all usable, every pressure on the ten-bar grid. Minimum gas — what two divers on one back-gas supply need to leave the deepest point and reach the first deco gas at 3 m/min, with a minute for the problem and a minute for the switch. The fill is the bottom phase, descent included, plus that minimum gas. Deco bottle fill and reserve. CNS. The deco bottle is walked level by level from the schedule that was actually solved — every stop, every travel leg and the slow last six metres. And it says which of the three ends the dive — your back gas, your deco bottle or your CNS clock — and at which minute. THE DIVE, MINUTE BY MINUTE Every leg carries the runtime it starts at and the runtime it ends at, so you can see where each line begins and ends without doing arithmetic. One tap lays the whole plan out as a wetnote page — schedule, gas checkpoints and on-the-fly adjustments — sized to copy by hand. DIVES BEFORE THIS ONE Keep a plan under a name, then say that up to three of them came before the one you are planning, each with the surface interval before it. Nitrogen and helium both cross the interval, and CNS decays at a 90-minute half-time. No published table covers repetitive decompression dives; this runs your own previous profiles through the same model. ON-THE-FLY ADJUSTMENTS Five minutes more or less on the bottom, or three metres deeper or shallower — each one re-solved through the same model, not scaled by a rule of thumb, with the change in deco minutes and what it costs in each cylinder. If a change goes past a limit, it says so. PRAGMATIC DECOMPRESSION Off by default. Switched on, it linearises the stops between 21 m and 9 m into one flat time per rung, and the 6 m stop is the longer of those stops added together and what the model needs there — a simpler profile to run in the water, not a more conservative one. The unadjusted profile is what the app computes otherwise. WHAT IT DOES NOT PLAN Closed-circuit rebreathers. Cave or wreck penetration. Hypoxic mixes and travel gas. More than one decompression gas. Altitude — sea level only. It does not compute OTU. One decompression gas per dive is a stated limit of this release, not an oversight. If your plan calls for two bottles, this is not your planner yet. INSIDE ITS ENVELOPE, IT REFUSES RATHER THAN WARNS A gas past its oxygen limit, an exposure past the maximum, cylinders that will not cover the plan, a surface interval under an hour — all produce no numbers at all, rather than a number with a caution attached. YOUR DIVE COMPUTER OWNS THE DIVE This is pre-dive arithmetic. It never pronounces a dive safe, and it is not a substitute for training, for your computer, or for your own judgement in the water.
