Gas Planning

Reserve and emergency gas workflows for real-world dive operations.

Planning Router

Answer a few quick questions and start in the right planning workflow. The default route stays on Gas Envelope because that is the best first pass for most planned dives.

Are you already using a dedicated decompression planner?
Will you need a fill after planning?
Recommended Start

Start with Gas Envelope

This is the default planning route for first-time users and most real dive planning.

Why this route
  • • It is the best starting point for planned depth, mix suitability, protected reserve, and turn strategy.
  • • It gives a stronger operational planning pass than emergency reserve alone.
  • • You can add the Advanced Segmented Planner on the same page later if your dive needs staged draft rows.
Start Here
Gas Envelope (Planned Limits & Turn)
Use this for planned depth, mix suitability, protected reserve, turn strategy, and advanced draft entry.

Quick Access

Jump straight to any planning tool if you already know your task.

Minimum Gas (Rock Bottom)
Use this for emergency reserve planning, out-of-gas ascent protection, and quick reserve cross-checks.
Gas Envelope (Planned Limits & Turn)
Use this for planned depth, mix suitability, protected reserve, turn strategy, and advanced draft entry.
Gas Blender
Use this after planning when you need a fill path or want to check whether your available banks can make the mix.

Planning Boundaries

  • Gas planning tools are decision support only. Always cross-check against your training standards, team procedures, and any dedicated decompression-planning software you already use.
  • ScubaTools is currently strongest as a reserve, turn, and gas-workflow system. If you need a full decompression schedule today, keep using your dedicated planner and use ScubaTools as the reserve and operational cross-check alongside it.
