I want this! Next step would be to combine with {{Transclude list item excerpt}} as {{Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow}}, to make a really powerful automation tool to make a portal from an outline list. · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 05:13, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Gas planning is one of the stages of scuba gas management. The other stages include:

  • Knowledge of personal and team members' gas consumption rates under varying conditions
    • basic consumption at the surface for variations in workload
    • variation in consumption due to depth variation
    • variation in consumption due to dive conditions and personal physical and mental condition
  • Monitoring the contents of the cylinders during a dive
  • Awareness of the critical pressures and using them to manage the dive
  • Efficient use of the available gas during the planned dive and during an emergency
  • Limiting the risk of equipment malfunctions that could cause a loss of breathing gas
