Gas planning

Gas planning

How long the gas lasts, when to turn, and what must be left in the cylinder.

The dive

Depth, cylinder and how you breathe.

L/min

Surface consumption, not tied to a cylinder.

Reserve strategy

How much of the fill you are willing to spend.

Descent and ascent are charged at the mean transit depth, not at maximum depth. Charging travel gas at full depth — as the previous calculator did — overstates it by around two thirds on a deep dive.
