Dive
INTRODUCTION
• Calculates decompression profiles for simple dives.
• In closed-circuit (CC) mode, also calculates open-circuit (OC) bail-out (BO)�
SETUP
Uses the current gases programmed into the Petrel, as well as the current GF low/high
settings� VPM-B dive planning is available on units with the optional VPM-B unlock�
Deco profile is computed for the current circuit mode (CC or OC).
ON THE SURFACE
Enter the dive bottom depth, bottom time, respiratory
minute volume(RMV) and PPO2 (closed-circuit only)�
Note: Residual tissue loading (and CNS%) from recent
dives will be used in calculating the profile.
DURING A DIVE
Computes the decompression profile assuming the ascent
Dive Plan Setup
will begin immediately� There are no settings to enter�
(RMV is last used value)
LIMITATIONS
The Petrel Dive Planner is intended for simple dives� Multi-level dives are not supported�
The Petrel Dive Planner makes the following assumptions:
• Descent rate is 60ft/min (18m/min) and the ascent rate is 33ft/min (10m/min)�
• For OC, the gas in use will be the gas with the highest PPO2 less than 1�40 for the bottom
gas, and 1.61 for deco gases (the deco gas max PPO2 can be changed in the Adv Config 1
menu)�
• For CC, the gas in use will be the gas with the highest PPO2 less than 1�05�
•
The planner will use the configured last stop depth.
• For CC, the PPO2 is constant for the entire dive�
• The RMV is the same while diving as during deco�
• Semi-closed uses a metabolic offset�
