Hi Guys,

thanks for providing all those profiles! Before tonight, I won’t have time to look into any of these in full detail, but in order not to look at too many things at once, I would propose we agree on a few benchmark profiles first with increasing order of complexity (and yes, they are not realistic dives). For example we could take

1) 30min at 60m with air

2) 30min at 60m with air plus EAN50

3) 30min at 60m with trimix 18/45 plus EAN50

4) 10min at 100m with trimix 18/45 plus EAN50 plus oxygen

5) 10min at 20m then descent to 60m, stay there for 30min with air

Furthermore, to simplify things, I would set the descent velocity to essentially infinite, instantaneous descent so we don’t run into complications on how to count different depths. Again, for simplification, we should first set ascent velocities to 10m/min uniformly.

6) same as 4) then a 1h surface interval and then 4) again.

Furthermore, set any conservatism and other free parameters to standard values (i.e. no conservatism).

This should give us one (or more) targets we can compare our profiles to, so we are not trying to hit a moving target.

Right now, my kids want me to play with them. Later I will set up a spread sheet on google docs where we can enter the plans from the different programs.

Does this make sense?

Best
Robert
