Benefits of technology

[0005]The present invention solves these and other drawbacks by providing a low cost, easy to use, electronic no-decompression calculator to aid in dive planning. Aspects of the present disclosure include an easy to use electronic no-decompression table for use in recreational dive planning in order to avoid decompression sickness. In one embodiment, the electronic no-decompression calculator is a portable handheld unit. The user is requested to enter at least one relevant piece of information about a dive and that information is used to compute depth, time, and surface interval time limits as well as pressure group categorizations. In one embodiment, an information tablet is provided with information relevant to planning a dive.

Problems solved by technology

Decompression sickness or the bends can occur if there is too much nitrogen built up in the diver's body after returning to the surface.
The decompression tables, however, are tedious and divers often make mistakes when using them.
Dive computers, however, can be expensive and generally offer very limited pre-dive dive planning capability.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]Embodiments of the present disclosure include a recreational electronic dive no-decompression calculator for use in planning underwater dives, including SCUBA dives. A diver prepares for his / her dive by first determining dive limitations in order to avoid decompression sickness. A diver enters information regarding a dive into the calculator and receives in response limitations and warnings on a planned dive. In one embodiment the no-decompression calculator aids in determining a no decompression time limit. In one embodiment, the no-decompression calculator calculates a pressure group after a dive. In one embodiment, the no-decompression calculator determines a pressure group after a surface interval. In one embodiment, the no-decompression calculator determines a minimum surface interval. In one embodiment, the no-decompression calculator determines a maximum depth. In one embodiment, the no-decompression calculator warns of an exceeded limit. In one embodiment, no-decompres...

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure include an easy to use electronic no-decompression table for use in recreational dive planning in order to avoid decompression sickness. In one embodiment, the electronic no-decompression calculator is a portable handheld unit. The user is requested to enter at least one relevant piece of information about a dive and that information is used to automatically compute depth, bottom time, and surface interval time limits as well as pressure group categorizations. In one embodiment, an information tablet is provided with information relevant to planning a dive.

Description

COPYRIGHT AUTHORIZATION[0001]A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of underwater diving. More specifically, the present invention relates to underwater dive planning.BACKGROUND[0003]Underwater diving is both a popular sport and an important profession. There are various forms of underwater diving. In one form, a diver uses a self contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) in order to stay under water without having to hold his / her breath or be tethered to a hose connected to the surface. One important consideration when SCUBA diving is the amount of time a diver can stay underwater. Wh...
