FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- When is it appropriate to define advanced dive settings?
- The advanced dive setup is suitable for all divers who want to plan their dive with even more consistency and attention to detail. Adjusting the altitude, water salinity, descent rate, gas switching time or gas consumption during decompression are just a small list of the individual settings that can affect the dive itself. Our app takes this into account and you can define this in a very simple way via the gear wheel in the top right corner in the app.
- Will the app notify me when I have selected unrealistic dive conditions?
- Yes, the app is developed to profile real dive possibilities. If you enter a greater depth with insufficient gases, then the app will highlight the validation error and ask you to reduce the depth or select different cylinders/mixtures.
- Is the app also useful for recreational divers?
- The Decosoft diving app is primarily developed for more complex and challenging decompression dives. However, it also contains a number of useful calculators that recreational divers will appreciate. For example, the MOD calculator will help to calculate very quickly the maximum operational depth at different nitrox mixtures.
- I prefer to navigate the app in another language, is that possible?
- The Decosoft app is gradually being offered to divers in many other countries and continents. The app is currently available in English, Spanish, Polish and Czech. Switching languages is possible in the application menu via the three lines on the top left. You can also choose between metric or imperial units.
- I have ideas for improvements or new features, how can get in touch with the developers?
- Your opinions and experiences are important to us! We are constantly improving the app and developing more useful features. We would be happy to receive your feedback. You can do so via the email addresses in the SUPPORT page.
- Does the application offer multiple cylinders and different gas mixtures?
- Yes. Technical diving is already very complex with many cylinders and different breathing mixtures such as air, EAN (Nitrox), Oxygen or Helium. This was important to incorporate this into the application since the first version.
- How much does the app cost?
- We offer the Decosoft diving app for free for 30 days. Our goal is to give you the chance to get familiar with the app, try out the plan calculations and explore all the other features the app has to offer. After 30 days, the ULTIMATE plan can then be purchased for a one-time price of 29.99 USD (or equivalent) with lifetime access.
- Is the app really safe?
- The Decosoft application was developed directly by a tech diver, originally for his own diving. The development is based on the reliable BÜHLMANN ZHL-16C decompression algorithm. This algorithm, whose main priority is the safety of the diver, takes into account the current depth, time and breathing mixture and determines how the mixture enters and exits the body depending on pressure changes. Note, however, that diving in general requires great caution and discretion. The Decosoft app is only a tool to facilitate dive planning and preparation. However, it does not assume responsibility for the safety and health of the diver himself.
