This is accomplished with Departure, dive planning software that is not only a step above the rest, but it is also the most affordable on the market. Download a copy and see for yourself! Departure calculates and plans altitude dives, nitrox dives and utilizes a proprietary method of deep stops to plan decompression diving for all gases including mixed gases. Departure was the first commercially available program on the market with a bubble model and algorithm to calculate deep stops! It also aids you in blending the appropriate gases required for your expedition, calculates your respiratory minute volume and does all of this with a level of conservatism you choose. Whether you are a recreational diver or a mixed gas technical diver using a rebreather, you will find Departure user friendly and you will be planning incredible dives from the get go. So go ahead, Browse and Adventure In!

Note and Warning: The following example profile is based upon other data entered into the Departure software program and uses decompression gasses that are not shown. It is presented as an example only and this particular example only uses slight conservatism. More conservatism settings (which are available) are desirable and should be followed.
Departure At Work:
Departure was not just created in a lab, it is used extensively on expedition dives. Below are pictures of Departure's developer using it to ascend from a dive to more than 400 feet at altitude.
