KCore Copilot Want to know more?
KCoreCopilot is the DiverInterCom interactive dive lab — a place to explore gas management, no-decompression limits, CCR versus open-circuit profiles, and practical diving concepts through educational simulations. Experiment, compare and learn while respecting the limits of every model. These tools are for learning and testing, not operational dive planning.

Open PlannerScientific references & technical verification
Explore the sources behind decompression models, gradient factors and breathing-gas physics. Published research and open-source implementations provide comparison points; they do not validate the DiverInterCom experimental simulators.
Research resources
- Ceiling-controlled versus staged decompression — peer-reviewed mathematical comparison using ZH-L16C and gradient factors.
- DAN — Performance Under Pressure — breathing-gas density, work of breathing and CO₂ considerations.
- Subsurface decompression model source — implementation details and model configuration for comparison, not a clinical validation source.
- MV-Plan documentation — Bühlmann coefficients, gradient-factor settings and pressure assumptions.
Validation checklist — planned, not yet passed
For each simulator, document the exact version, gas, depth/time profile, ascent and descent rates, model coefficients, GF settings, surface pressure and reference-program version. Compare calculated tissue pressures, NDL, first ceiling, stops, runtime and oxygen exposure where relevant.
- Fresh-air single-depth NDLs at several depths; repeat with common nitrox mixtures.
- OC trimix and multigas decompression, including realistic gas-switch and missing-gas cases.
- CCR low/high setpoints, setpoint changes and open-circuit bailout comparisons.
- Leading-compartment changes, gradient-factor limits, gas density and extreme-input handling.
Verification status: no complete independent benchmark test series has been published for these tools. Use them for education and experimentation only, never as the sole basis of an operational decompression plan.
