iScuba Plan
For a full video preview, please see the iScubaPlan website: http://www.scubaplan.com
Fast, accurate, recreational SCUBA dive planner built by the same author of iDeco - The highest rated technical diving app in the AppStore.
*******
IMPORTANT - A reviewer thought there was a mistake in the way iScuba Plan handles Nitrox - They didn't read the 3rd bullet point - iScuba Plan converts Nitrox values to EAD (equivalent air depth) and then calculates the dive.
The reason is very simple - There are only a couple of PADI EAN tables (32, 36 etc), but iScuba Plan can accommodate *any* Nitrox mix using this widely accepted technique.
*******
* Metric and Imperial - Allows instant switching between them.
* Plan recreational dive profiles based on the same data as the PADI RDP.
* Supports Nitrox via calculating the EAD on the fly and applying this to the Air data.
* Plan repetitive dives all in one shot. Just add a surface interval and keep right on going.
* See before and after pressure groups.
* Green/Red indicators for time, NDL, gas, and dive. Yellow indicators for warnings such as required stops and EAD's of 1.4 to 1.6.
* Allows you to do infinite "what-if's" with instantaneous feedback - Plan dives to bottom time or to the SI after the last dive.
* See the instant effect of changing depth, time, and Nitrox mixes.
* Instant Nitrox calculator. Shows pO2 as depth or mix changes.
* Innovative interface that shows everything you need to see - All dynamically!
* User interface is extremely fast and fluid.
NOTE: As always, this application does NOT replace proper certification and training. Always confirm information with tables.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION:
As requested, new warning bars!
* When changing the depth, any depth that will require a safety stop is highlighted with a yellow bar.
* When changing Nitrox mixes, the yellow warning will show for anything between 1.4 and 1.6
* All bars and numbers have been updated to be much more precise when using the sliders.
* Minor performance enhancements to take advantage of iPhone 3.0

Pros: Nice looking and easy to use interface.
Cons: Not Fully PADI Compatible
I like this app and would have scored it more highly, but have found it to be not fully compatible (unless I am doing something wrong).An example PADO OWD exam question is "A dive to 18 metres for 40 minutes yiels what pressure group?
The correct answer from the PADI RDP tables is P - but the same calculation on iScuba Plan gives the answer of Q! I tried to contact the software developer but could find no link from his page. I am sure that there is some explanation.
