make-dive-profile demonstration

Dive profile: 60m depth with a ground time of 14 minutes

with decompression following the deco2000 table:
  make-dive-profile 60 -14  15 1   12 2  9 4   6 6   3 14
Of course one usually would want to see this graphically:
  make-dive-profile 60 -14  15 1   12 2  9 4   6 6   3 14 \

I'll leave out out the second line from the following examples.

One way to show is profile graphically is this:

This shows the tissue saturation in relation to the maximum saturation allowed for the current depth.

Dive profile: 60m depth with a ground time of 14 minutes

with decompression following the bühlmann-hahn table from 1986:
  make-dive-profile 60 -14 12 4 9 5 6 11 3 27

Dive profile: The deco2000 example, ascending too slow

Assuming an ascend speed of 5 meters per minute:
