dive.RdCreate 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.
dive( depth = 20, time = 40, secu = TRUE, ascent_speed = 10, maj = 0, desat_model = c("table", "other"), hour = 0, way = c("OW", "WB") )
| 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'). |
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.
See tablecheck for limit values of depth and time.
