# Starting a review

import { ReviewPage } from "@/components/react/PostDiveScreens";
import { trimixDeco } from "@/demo/plans";

Reviews start from the plan, not from the dive. The Post-Dive page lists every
plan you have and shows which recorded dive it thinks each one was dived as:
*Your plans, matched to recorded dives. Open a matched plan to review the dive
against it.*

> **Caution**
>
> The review is for education and reflection: it is not a medical device, it does
> not diagnose or rule out decompression sickness, and no score it produces means
> you are safe.

## Opening one

1. Download the dive from your computer, if you have not already. A review needs
   the full recording. See [Downloading dives](/log/downloading).

2. Open the Post-Dive page. Each row is a plan: maximum depth, name, circuit,
   runtime, and level count when it has more than one.

3. Read the match on the right of the row. A matched plan names the dive it
   matched, `Dive #14 · 4 Feb` for example.

4. Select a matched row. The review opens on the recorded profile drawn against
   the planned one.

Rows you have worked on carry their state: **Reviewed** when every question is
answered, or **In progress** with a count when some are.

## When nothing is matched

DiveLogic pairs a plan with the downloaded dive agreeing on the most of three
things: maximum depth within 15 % or within 3 m, runtime within 25 %, and a
start on the calendar day the plan is dated.

- **`Matching dive not downloaded`**: a dive fits the plan, but its recording
  has never been downloaded. Connect the computer, open that dive, and the row
  becomes openable.
- **`No matching dive log`**: no downloaded dive agreed well enough. Usually the
  dive is not downloaded, or the plan carries no date or the wrong one.
- **`No plans yet`**: there is nothing to review against. Make the plan first,
  in [the planner](/planning/creating-a-plan).

There is no manual dive picker. If a plan will not match the dive you know it
belongs to, correct the plan's date.

## Inside the review

Six tabs: **Review**, **Feel**, **The dive**, **You**, **Next 24h** and
**Reading**. The first is the plan-vs-actual comparison, the middle four ask
questions, and the last is the reading they add up to.

Nothing is required and nothing blocks you from moving on. Answers save as you
go. Reopening a review returns you to the first step: the answers persist, the
position in the flow does not. Signed out, the review opens on a sample dive,
with a note saying so.

The comparison step also offers **Debrief this dive with AI**, which hands the
comparison and your answers to the
[post-dive debrief](/assistants/debrief).

## Next

- [The questionnaire](/post-dive/questionnaire): what the review asks.
- [Plan-vs-actual adherence](/post-dive/adherence): what the comparison measures.
