Saving Plans

Once you are satisfied with your dive plan, you can save it for future reference, for use as a predecessor in successive dive planning, or simply to keep a record of your planned dives.

Two save modes

The save dialog offers two modes depending on whether you are working on a new plan or editing one you previously loaded.

New plan

When saving a plan for the first time, you are prompted to enter a plan name. The name must be between 2 and 100 characters. If a plan with the same name already exists in the selected folder, the planner will notify you so you can choose a different name.

Update existing plan

If you loaded a previously saved plan and made changes, the save dialog lets you update the existing plan in place. This overwrites the saved version with your current configuration and results.

Folder organization

You can organize your saved plans into folders:

• Select an existing folder from the dropdown when saving.
• Create a new folder inline directly from the save dialog -- no need to leave the planner.
• Move plans between folders later via drag and drop on the Dashboard.

Folders help you group plans by trip, dive site, certification level, or any system that works for you.

What gets saved

When you save a dive plan, the following data is stored:

• Dive parameters -- depth, bottom time, and all environment settings (water type, altitude)
• Tank configurations -- all tanks with their gas mixes, volumes, pressures, and roles
• Decompression schedule -- the full list of deco stops with depths, durations, and gases
• Dive segments -- the complete segment breakdown from descent to surfacing
• Gas consumption data -- used, remaining, and reserve volumes for each tank
• Safety metrics -- PPO2, CNS, OTU, END, and gas density values
• Tissue saturation state -- the compartment loading at the end of the dive, which is required for successive dive planning

important

The tissue saturation state is critical for successive dive planning. Without it, a subsequent dive cannot account for residual gas loading from this dive. This data is saved automatically with every plan.

Accessing saved plans

Saved plans appear on your Dashboard in the Saved Dive Plans card. From there you can:

• Open a plan to load it back into the dive planner
• Rename or delete plans
• Move plans between folders using drag and drop
• Use a saved plan as the predecessor for a successive dive
