dive

Description

Create a dive class object simulating a dive for given depth and times. To do so, it create a depth/time curve and find the desaturation stops according to a desaturation model.

Usage

dive(
  depth = 20,
  time = 40,
  secu = TRUE,
  ascent_speed = 10,
  maj = 0,
  desat_model = c("table", "other"),
  hour = 0,
  way = c("OW", "WB")
)

Arguments

depth	Depth of the dive in meter. Need to be positive values. A single value is needed for square dive, however if a vector is provided a decompression model need to be selected. Default is 20 meter
time	Duration of the dive in minute. Need to be positive values. A single value is needed for square dive, however if a vector is provided a decompression model need to be selected. Default is 40 minutes
secu	security decompression stop of 3 min at 3 m. FALSE by default.
ascent_speed	Ascent_speed in meter/minute. 10 m/min by default. Most dive table advice to limite this speed to 20M/min maximum.
maj	Time majoration for the dive. Only used by table decompression model.
desat_model	Which desaturation model is used to compute desaturation stops during ascent, to eliminate nitrogen. Default is tables as only this one works today.
hour	The first immersion hour in minute. Need to be 24h format converted in minutes (hour = hours * 60 + minutes). 0 by default.
way	If the dive is one way (one way : 'OW') or if the diver return by the same depth (way back : 'WB').

Details

See tablecheck for limit values of depth and time.

Value

dive, a list containing a depth/time curve in a data.frame, the desaturation stops acording to the model used, and some information about depth to surface time, and input parameters as ascent_speed and secu.
