# Your first plan

import { PlanSummaryDemo } from "@/components/react/PlanSummaryDemo";
import { recreationalNitrox } from "@/demo/plans";

A 24 m dive for 30 minutes on EAN32: one level, one gas, everything else left
alone. Every plan moves through the same three steps, **Plan**, **Review**,
**Save**, and the rail at the top of the planner is the only navigation the
planner has.

## Build it

1. **Open Plans** in the navigation rail, then press **New** in the drawer's
   header. On a phone, use the raised **+** in the tab bar instead.

2. **Name it.** The **New Dive Plan** dialogue needs only a **Dive Name**. Leave
   **Breathing Mode** on **Open Circuit** and press **Next →**.

3. **Add the level.** Press **Add Level**, set **Depth** to `24` and **Bottom
   Time** to `30`.

4. **Add the gas.** In the **Gases** section press **Add Gas Mix**. The wizard
   opens already set to a single backmount cylinder in the **Bottom Gas** role,
   so press **Next →** without changing anything.

5. **Set the mix.** On **Gas Composition**, set **O₂ %** to `32` and leave
   **He %** at `0`. The preview names it `EAN32`. Press **Next →** through the
   remaining pages, then **Finished**.

6. **Review it.** Press **Review →**. Everything else is already configured:
   Bühlmann ZHL-16C at GF 40/70, salt water at sea level, 20 m/min down and
   9 / 3 / 1 m/min up.

## Read the result

The **Overview** tab is the profile chart with a strip of readouts beneath it,
and those readouts are the plan.

**First Stop** is absent, because this dive has no decompression obligation. The
few minutes of **TTS** are the direct ascent, not decompression. Add bottom time
and a stop will eventually appear, and from that minute on the dive is a
decompression dive.

## Keep it

**Save →** asks for a **Plan Name**, offers a **Notes** field, and puts the plan
in the Dive Plans drawer, where it stays available on every device you sign in
to.

## Next

[Creating a plan](/planning/creating-a-plan) starts the same flow with the
decisions put back in, one page per panel.

[Gradient factors](/theory/gradient-factors) explains what the 40/70 you left
alone is doing to the ascent.
