ACTION

Planner

Action's Planner lets you simulate and plan a dive, displaying the NDL time 

(within non-decompression limits) depending on the depth set.
The Planner allows you to plan Air/Nitrox with NDL only, meaning within the 

non-decompression limits, and therefore requiring no decompression time.
The input data (mix, Max PpO

2

, and level of conservatism) are entered in the 

various submenus (“MIX”, “DIVE SET”) and are used to calculate the NDL.
The calculated NDL accounts for descent performed at 18 meters/minute 59 ft/

minute.
The calculated NDL does not include the time required for the ascent.
In Planning mode, you can only change the dive depth and the surface time. 
The NDL Time display is updated immediately whenever the dive depth or 

surface interval is changed.
Depths greater than 45 meters/150 ft cannot be entered.

Divelogger

Dive data can be downloaded to be saved, viewed, and processed. The 

software for both Windows 10 and Mac is available for free download on the 

website www.seacsub.com. However, to connect the Action to a PC you need 

a special USB cable that can be purchased separately.
