Abstract
An interactive apparatus for use by a scuba diver to provide for diver control of a specified dive-related parameter. The diver enters into the apparatus a desired parameter value, such as air reserve available at the completion of a dive, and the apparatus, based on the desired parameter and current dive conditions, determines the length of time the diver may remain at the current depth and still safely ascend to the surface. In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus also includes audible and visible alarms to alert the diver to the expiration of the determined length of safe dive time.
