startdivemode=apnoe | closedcircuit | opencircuit | semiclosedcircuit — compulsory

startmix=identifier of breathing gas mix used at beginning of dive — compulsory

Inside <plannedprofile> exact information concerning a planned dive profile is given. After finishing the dive a comparison of the "theoretical" with the real dive profile is possible.

To guarantee clear starting conditions, two — compulsory — attributes, the initially used breathing gas <mix> as well as the dive mode — apnoe diving, scuba diving (using an open system), using a closed circuit, or a semi-closed circuit rebreather — must be set.
