 Such dives are planned in three stages:

+model. Select one of the two models. When selecting the Buehlmann model, the gradient factors (GF_high and GF_low
+need to be specified. Initially, the GFHigh and GFLow values in the _Preferences_
 panel of _Subsurface_ is used. If these are changed within the planner (see _Gas Options_ within
 the planner), the new values are
 used without changing the original values in the _Preferences_. Gradient Factor settings strongly affect the calculated ceilings and their depths.
 A very low GFLow value brings about decompression stops early on during the dive.
  ** For more information about Gradient factors, see the section on xref:S_GradientFactors[Gradient Factor Preference settings].

+If the VPM-B model is selected, the Conservatism_level needs to be specified on a scale of 0 (least conservative) to 4 (most conservative).
+This model tends to give deco stops at deeper levels than the Beuhlmann model and often results in slightly shorter
+dive durations than the Buehlmann model. When selecting one of these models, keep in mind that they are NOT exact physiological models but
+only mathematical models that appear to work in practice.

 The ascent rate is critical for nitrogen off-gassing at the end of the dive and is specified
 for several depth ranges, utilising the average (or mean) depth as a yardstick. The mean depth
