## Description

Tool for planning staged decompression dives for technical divers.

Supports open circuit and closed circuit rebreathers, multi-level and repetitive dives, nitrox, trimix, altitude adjustments, metric and imperial measurements.

Keeps track of gas consumption, OTUs and CNS. Per dive configurable ascent/descent rates, last stop/stop interval settings and RMV/MOR. Any combination of OC and CCR planning is possible (CCR dives with OC levels/deco etc.). 

One tap access to lost-gas, bailout, deeper & longer contingency profiles. 

Constantly displays updated plan details as changes are made, and uses color highlighting to suggest best mixes.

Dive plans can be stored in a bookmark folder for convenient reuse. Plans can also be exported via email or pasted into any other app.

Features both VPM-B (based on Erik C. Bakers work) with configurable conservatism and ZHL16-B with configurable gradient factors for calculating decompression profiles. Also supports VPM-B/GFS.

## Review summary

Baltic Deco Planner is widely praised for fast, flexible, and accurate tech-diving deco planning on iPhone/iPad, with live calculations, cross-algorithm support, and ease of use. Users appreciate real-time updates and quick “what-if” comparisons. A recurring request is freshwater planning support, plus features like gas blending; some users note occasional crashes on older devices. Despite these points, it remains a top value and go-to deco tool for many divers.

### Pros

- Real-time dynamic calculations and immediate feedback as you adjust gases, PP, or time, with easy side-by-side profile comparisons.
- Supports multiple deco models/algorithms (VPM-B, ZHL16B with GF) and CCR, offering flexible gas and bailout options for technical diving.
- Intuitive, wheel-based interface that is easy to learn and use on iPhone/iPad, handy for boat planning.
- Stable, well-built, and good value, delivering fast, reliable calculations and broad adoption as a deco planning tool.
- Strong capability for ‘what-if’ scenario planning and quick adjustments to gas plans and deco schedules.

### Cons

- Lacks freshwater planning support (no freshwater gas planning or setting), a recurring limitation mentioned by multiple reviewers.
