7.7. Suunto Dive Planner (SDP)
Suunto Dive Planner is an essential part of your dive. It is used for creating dive plans.

WARNING

Using the Suunto Dive Planner software is not a substitute for
proper dive training. Diving with mixed gases has dangers that
are not familiar to divers diving with air. To dive with trimix, triox,
heliox and nitrox or all of them, divers must have specialized
training for the type of diving they are doing.

Start creating a dive plan by defining the maximum depth and bottom time. Next, plan
travel, bottom and decompression gases. Based on the gases, the Dive Planner cal-
culates the decompression schedule, gas change and decompression depths. After
the decompression schedule is ready, the needed gas volume for the dive is calculated
based on the Surface Air Consumption (SAC) rate that can be checked from Suunto
Dive Manager.
