Casuarina Dive Planner (CDP) ^© Software

     Casuarina Dive Planner (CDP) Software is a product of Casuarina Aquatics, Inc.  It is intended for dive planning  by properly certified divers or for training of appropriately trained divers by properly certified instructors.  Hence it can be utilized by a wide range of divers.  Casuarina Dive Planner can be used for planning non-decompression dives within standard sport-diving limits by "recreational" divers; it can be used by divemasters and specialty divers to develop understanding of inert-gas dynamics and established models for DCS and oxygen-related phenomena; and it can be used by technical divers for planning multi-level, mixed-gas dives.

    Casuarina Dive Planner uses well-established algorithms for all calculations, and it allows for easy text inputs, point-and-click selections, and simple user-friendly outputs. 

    Examples are shown on the linked pages; these examples are based on a highly technical, tri-mix dive to 264 feet, but they illustrate several of the features of Dive Planner, including its numerous outputs pertinent to inert-gas burdens, narcosis, oxygen toxicity, hypoxia, etc.  Air is used for a descent mix; trimix is the bottom mix; and 32%, 50% and 80% oxygen are the decompression mixes in this sample profile.  (See if you can find the mistake near the end of the ascent.)

• basic opening screen

• bottom variables (264 feet) using 15/45 trimix

• calculator for computing run and stop times with automatic computation of run time to first stop (264-foot bottom to 120-foot first stop)

• depth and ceiling profiles on ascent (50 feet)

• graphical display of compartment contents (helium and nitrogen) on ascent (50 feet)

• warning flag for excess oxygen concentration (50 feet)

• graphical display of compartment contents (helium and nitrogen) at the surface (0 feet)

• depth and ceiling profiles at the surface (0 feet)

• inert-gas pressures and fractional pressures at the surface (0 feet)

• text output table showing numerous dive parameters including gas mixes used and volumes consumed

    CDP-22 automatically computes and records the ascent (depths, times, and mixes) for a stage-decompression dive.  Decompression computations either can use default decompression mixes or user-specified custom mixes.  Custom ascent mixes can be saved for repeated use.
