Gas needed

Usable gas

150 bar

Outcome

Not enough gas

The pressure needed exceeds the usable gas: reduce time or depth, increase tank volume or fill pressure.

Formula: gas = RMV × (depth/10 + 1) × time. The calculation does not include ascent, safety stops or decompression: always plan according to your training.

Frequently asked questions

How much air do I need for a dive?

Gas required (litres) = RMV × (depth / 10 + 1) × bottom time. Divide by cylinder volume to get the pressure in bar, then add your reserve.

What is a rule of thirds turn pressure?

With the rule of thirds you use one third of your usable gas on the way out, one third to come back and keep one third in reserve. The planner shows the turn pressure for your fill and reserve.

What reserve pressure should I keep?

Recreational divers commonly surface with 50 bar. Overhead or decompression dives need a planned reserve able to bring two divers to the surface.

Which depth should I use for gas planning?

Use the average depth you expect for the bottom phase. Using maximum depth is more conservative and is a sensible safety margin for square profiles.
