depth	numeric	depth (metres)
temp	numeric	temperature (C)
bar	numeric	breathing gas pressure (bar)
RBT	integer	residual bottom time (min)
WL	integer	workload

Details

This dataset contains the dive profile data for a real scuba dive uploaded from a dive computer. It gives the depth, water temperature, breathing gas cylinder pressure, calculated residual bottom time, and calculated workload, recorded every 4 seconds throughout the dive.

The dive site was the wreck of the vessel Baron Gautsch in Croatia. The dive, to a maximum depth of 40 metres, with total dive time of 40 minutes, was conducted on nitrox (EAN 30) by Vittorio Broglio.

The examples show how to convert the depth-time data to a dive object.
