Nova Apnea

The likelihood of developing decompression sickness (DCS) in breath-hold (BH) dives is a reality, especially in repetitive diving. The DCS is provoked by bubbles due to inadequate compression – decompression. Our app aims at reducing the DCS stress by predicting the probability of bubble presence in BH diving. The app accepts essential dive parameters, including Depth (planned dive depth), Descent Time (time to descend), Bottom Time (time spent at depth), and Surface Time (time between sequential dives). With three distinct modes, BH divers can manage and optimize their dive profiles effectively:

Free Simulation: Add independent dives and calculate individual risk values for each dive as well as the cumulative probability of bubble presence.

Fix Max Risk: Set a maximum probability of bubble presence threshold and plan a dive sequence that maintains your risk level within this limit.

Training Period: Set a total dive period, and get a recommended dive schedule to complete within the selected timeframe.

Dive safer, train smarter, and track your progress efficiently!

The app provides metrics to help BH divers to estimate the bubble risk that may occur during dives, but do not forget that our app does not take into account neither variations on the BH diving modalities (bi-fin, monofin, constant weight etc) nor the individual factors (age, body composition, fitness etc). The algorithms used in this application are developed to deliver the most accurate results; however, none of the data provided by the application is guaranteed to be completely reliable and is intended solely for recreational or informational purposes. This application is not designed for medical purposes or to ensure diving safety. Always ensure that you have received proper training and professional guidance when diving. Improper use may lead to errors that could result in serious injury or death for divers. Do NOT use the software if you are not a certified BH diver.
