In this section you can enter your dive plan and see what ascent schedule will KAON compute
underwater, assuming that you follow the dive plan precisely. You can configure two types of
waypoints:
4.5. Runtime (only in Tec mode)
-
Normal
: where you set a target Depth and a Time spent at that depth, and your KAON
uses this information to create a dive plan
-
Switch
: where you set a target Depth and a Gas you want to switch to at that depth, and
your KAON uses this information to create a dive plan
Here’s how you can use this feature. Let’s assume you have set up 3 gases: Dive Gas: 32%, Deco Gas
1: Air, Deco Gas 2: 100% O2.
If you are diving a typical “square” profile, where you descent to a certain depth and stay there for a
certain period of time before heading up, all you will need to create is one “Normal” waypoint to get an
estimated dive/decompression plan.
Ex: “Square” Profile
Set up a Normal waypoint at 20m (ca. 65 ft) on 32% for 20 minutes. Your KAON suggests a switch to
O2 at 7m (ca. 23 ft) and a total dive time of 21:59
If you plan to dive a multi-level dive on one gas, you will need to set several “Normal” waypoints to
describe your dive and get an estimated decompression plan.
Ex: “Multi-Level” Profile
You already have a waypoint set up at 20m for 20 mins breathing 32% nitrox. Instead of selecting
“Compute Deco”, you “Add” a waypoint at 30m for an additional 10 mins. Then select “Compute
Deco”. Your KAON suggests a switch to O2 at 7m and a total dive time of 32:59.
