Gas planning in scuba diving is something that many in recreational diving are never taught and can be daunting to learn. In this effort, I worked with together with Wouter, a scuba instructor on a video to help simply this concept and help you start planning your future gas consumption on your dives. Practice makes perfect and once you have a good handle on these, you will be able to adequately plan your dives in a way you can mitigate risk and know when a dive will be dangerous, eliminating the guessing game completely.

Without further ago, the below Google Sheets are sourced directly from Wouter Storms who I had the pleasure working on this with. There are some slight modifications to include formulas from the video otherwise and are provided here to help you get started with your gas planning journey and making it easier to learn and apply before your next dive!

Wetnotes template

In case you have your own wet notes (a booklet that can be taken diving and be used to record notes on your dive), laminate the content and put in a pocket, or keep a print out in your dive log. The options are yours. Wouter has also provided some great pictures of how you can print out the first two tabs (checklist and gas info) and insert them in your wet notes.

If you’d like you make modifications, feel free to copy the source and do so. If you copy these and post it for others, we ask you treat this under a creative common license and ensure you provide credit.
