A client-side web app to help scuba divers set up their dive computer.

Scuba divers use computers to tell them when to make stops during ascent to prevent decompression illness. Many recent computers implement Bühlmann's decompression algorithm with "Gradient Factors".

Gradient Factors are 2 free parameters that control the "safety" margin of the dive. It's not obvious what values to choose, especially for novice divers.

My app explains what they are and shows their impact on the computed dive plan.
