Dive Plan app for iPhone and iPad
Dive Plan is a digital decompression table and log book, made using general public information, most compatible with PADI, SSI, SDI, NAUI, NAVI diving tables, and it is comparable with most of the other current diving organizations and their dive tables. Recreational dive planners are decompression tables in which non-stop time under water is calculated. The Dive Planner can be used to practice for your dive certification exams, and can be used as a general guide for planning dives, and logging your dives so you never forget what to enter into your paper log book.
Dive Plan works for diving with air (21% Oxygen) filled tanks, as well as enriched air (nitrox from 21% to 40% oxygen). Please note that when diving on an altitude, special considerations must be taken into account, and different dive tables should be used.
Dive computers use much more sophisticated algorithms for calculated non-decmpression limits, based on the whole dive, whereas the recreational dive tables are much more conservative and assume a square profile dive where the diver spends the entire dive at one depth.
Pros and cons of Dive Plan app for iPhone and iPad
Dive Plan app good for
I have used Dive Plan for years and recently upgraded to nitrox version. Easy to use, can adjust your mix (fo2), ppo2, depth, bottom time, and surface interval for each dive. If you click on the abbreviated title a definition window will pop up. Capable of multiple dives with different parameters for each dive. You can even email each dive parameter with ability to add peculiar dive information (basically using it as a log book entry).
Excellent program, easier to use than PADIs eRDP device and follows closely the PADI dive table letters and times. DO NOT USE IT ON PADI DIVE-MASTER TEST. It is off just enough from their eRDP to get answers wrong. Works perfect for PADI scuba review tests. I like this program so much I have it on iPAD and my iPhone. Yes I use dive computers and even backup computers, but I like to do tables calculations for practice as well as helps for planning the next dive on same day.
Some bad moments
I originally got the lite version but when I was diving Nitrox I had to upgrade. The full version of the app is $5.99 in the App Store and does NOTHING more unless you pay an additional upgrade of $2.99.
This is a very usefull app, I use this app to plan my dives and log what my plan is before hand so I dont have to think about it, I can just send my plan to my email and review it before I dive. I forget my tables, but I never forget my phone! This is awesome! I can even use this to never forget to log my dives in my logbook, I always have my plan in my email inbox.
I tried the light version of this and was impressed on how easy it was with some nice features like email so i bought the upgraded version. The upgraded version does not carry over pressure groups nor does it have a way to enter them manually. Dont bother buying this product.
Inaccurate because you can only put in a surface interval maximum of six hours. You should be able to choose up to 24 hours.
Using the light version and based on the price of the full one; my expectations was that I was getting a full diver log with the planner and conversion tables. Not to forget the dive notes and Nitrox option. So far with its current features no value for money.
What a great app. Ive been using different apps for Dive Planning for a long time, and have been searching for an easy to use Dive Planner. This app can also send my plan to my email, or any email I want. It does cary over pressure groups and it is very similar to my PADI tables. I love using this app, and my dive buddies also use it a lot, and have couple of friends that use it for teaching new divers how to plan their dives. GREAT JOB!!!
