Compare row-count, total-decompression-time and final-runtime checkpoints between two records of the same externally prepared decompression schedule while preserving exact source and version context.
A quick decision brief for this specific tool
One de-identified scope/basis; named responsible schedule/table/device, revision/modification, depth-time/breathing-gas profile, repetitive/last-pressure-exposure and independent-schedule records; plus reviewed and independent row counts, total scheduled decompression minutes and final scheduled runtimes
The preserved schedule provenance, both sets of copied checkpoints and signed reviewed-minus-independent differences for row count, total decompression time and final runtime
Validate that both records use coherent nonnegative counts/times and positive final runtimes, then subtract the independent checkpoint from the reviewed checkpoint without generating, summing or changing any schedule row
Choose your path
Reconcile row-count, total-decompression-time and final-runtime checkpoints between two records of the same externally prepared decompression schedule without generating or approving a schedule.
Catch a copied-row or total-time mismatch while keeping the exact table/device, revision, profile and repetitive context visible.
Name every source record, copy three checkpoints from the responsible schedule and an independent transcription, then inspect signed differences.
Can route a mismatch back to the accountable schedule owner without using the worksheet to change a stop or approve the dive.
Teach record discipline without presenting invented NDL, stop, gas-switch or gradient-factor advice.
Load the three-row/18-minute/52-minute example, inspect the provenance and three subtraction steps, then alter one independent checkpoint.
The learner can distinguish record agreement from model, schedule, equipment or operational validity.
Confirm two archived records refer to the same schedule/version/profile before comparing their numeric checkpoints.
Retain table/device designation, revision/modification, depth-time/gas profile and prior-exposure context, then export a deliberate reviewed run.
Receives a traceable discrepancy record without emergency, treatment or omitted-decompression instructions.
Outputs and checklists are planning aids. Review the linked current authorities and the records, terms, instructions, and requirements that apply to your exact situation before a consequential decision.
Tools you might need next
Reproduce gas availability and demand already selected in one named responsible plan, with explicit cylinder, schedule, allowance and independent records—without generating a bottom time or safety approval.
Reproduce FO2, nitrogen balance, ppO2 and ppN2 from named analyzed-mixture and ambient absolute-pressure records, then compare two source-owned ppO2 values without selecting limits or approving a dive.
Reproduce surface-gas volume from one completed cylinder pressure window and compare a separate same-unit record without estimating SAC, duration, reserve or dive safety.
Two totals are comparable only when both records refer to the exact same externally prepared schedule, table/device or planning-system output, version, modification, depth-time/gas profile and repetitive context. This page does not select any of them.
identity = source + version/modification + complete profile contextCompare schedule row count, total scheduled decompression minutes and final runtime using the same start point, inclusion and rounding basis. The worksheet does not inspect individual stops or recalculate either source.
reviewed checkpoint − independent checkpointZero does not validate the schedule model, table/device, version, gas, repetitive context, equipment, team or dive. Positive and negative values are discrepancy directions only and must return to the responsible process.
0 difference = copied checkpoints agreeUpdated: August 2026
An instructor provides an example schedule with three rows, 18 total decompression minutes and 52 minutes final runtime. An independent transcription matches all three, so each signed difference is zero without validating or approving the schedule.
The responsible record contains four rows while the independent transcription contains three. A +1 row difference flags the archive/transcription for responsible review; the page never invents the missing row or its depth, gas or duration.
Two outputs share a title but identify different table or software revisions. The reviewer does not force a numeric comparison; they first obtain records from the same exact schedule version and profile context.
Use this worksheet only after a responsible decompression schedule already exists. Preserve the exact schedule/table/device, revision or modification, complete depth-time and breathing-gas profile, repetitive or last-pressure-exposure record and an independent transcription. Compare three copied checkpoints without calculating NDL, stops, ceilings, ascent, gas switches, models, gradient factors, repetitive loading, treatment or emergency action.
