Willem,

thanks a lot for your testing, very much appreciated!

This is a known problem, which is on my todo list.

Very slow controlled ascents (shallower than 10m and especially shallower than 6m) are mostly not possible in the sea where swells of several meters are encountered. In this respect the plans from Subsurface are problematic.


Having user configurable ascent rates is currently I would say half-implemented but should be fully very soon.

That said, my personal recommendation is really to spend some time on a very slow ascent as at least to me this improves very much (fatigue!) how I feel after a dive (even in the sports diver range).

Best
Robert
