About DiveToolbox
By Divers, For Divers
Our Mission
DiveToolbox was born from a simple idea: powerful dive planning tools should be accessible to every diver. Built by active divers who understand the real-world demands of dive planning, every feature comes from firsthand experience underwater — from recreational reef dives to deep technical expeditions.
Safety First
Safety is at the core of everything we do. Our decompression algorithms are based on the industry-standard Bühlmann ZH-L16C model with configurable gradient factors, giving you the precision and conservatism controls that professional divers demand. We believe that accurate, reliable tools contribute to safer diving for everyone.
The Science Behind the Tools
DiveToolbox uses the Bühlmann ZH-L16C decompression algorithm, developed by Professor Albert A. Bühlmann at the University of Zurich. This model simulates 16 tissue compartments with different half-times to calculate safe ascent profiles for air, nitrox, trimix, and heliox dives. Enhanced with gradient factors (GF Low / GF High), it gives divers fine-grained control over decompression conservatism.
