Viewing a shared plan on the web

What it is

When someone sends you a Dive Kit share link, you do not need the app to read it. Open the link in any web browser and the page at divekit.app shows the plan: the stop table, the key stats, and the dive details. This works because the link already carries the computed results, so the web page draws the plan straight from the link. No login, no app, and no deco engine on the website.

This is the easy way to glance at a buddy’s plan on a laptop, or to check a plan before you decide to open it in the app.

How to open a shared plan

1. Tap or paste the share link (https://divekit.app/share/deco-plan/...) into a browser.
2. The plan loads and renders on the page.
3. Read the schedule, or open it in the app for the full, editable version.

What a viewer sees

The link encodes both the plan inputs and the computed results, so the web page shows the schedule the sender saw. The plan’s depths, gases, and settings are baked into the link, and the engine output rides along with it. That is why the page renders without doing any decompression maths of its own.

The page lays out, top to bottom: the plan name and a one-line summary, a metric/imperial toggle, a collapsible Plan Settings block, the summary stats, a scenario selector when the link carries more than one scenario, the stop table, a dive profile graph with gas usage, and the warning cards (oxygen toxicity, gas density, hypoxia, and so on) sorted by severity.

The viewer is read-only. It shows the plan; it does not let you edit gases, change settings, or recompute. For that, you open the plan in the Deco Planner.

A couple of things shape what the page can show:

• It only displays the scenarios baked into the link. A link sent as text carries the main scenarios (the base plan plus the common contingencies); a link from a QR code carries only the base scenario. Very large plans can drop some of the less-common contingencies from the text link to keep it short enough for messaging apps. See Share links and QR codes for the difference.
• The shared data is metric. The page has a metric/imperial toggle, so you can read the plan in feet and psi if you prefer. The conversion happens in your browser.

Closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) plans

A shared CCR plan always renders its on-loop schedule on the web, the ascent you breathe straight off the loop. The stop table shows the setpoint on each stage, written like “SP 1.3”. The plan inputs carry the rig as well, so the Plan Settings block can show the diluent mix, the setpoints, and the cylinder sizes.

What the web view cannot show is a bailout ascent. Bailout schedules are deliberately left out of the link, both to keep it short and because bailout is emergency-reference material you want to read interactively, not from a static page. So if you open a CCR plan on the web, you are seeing the loop ascent only. To see the bailout schedule, open the plan in Dive Kit, which recomputes bailout from the inputs.

Open it in the app for full interactivity

The web view is a quick read. To get a live, editable plan, open the same link in Dive Kit. The app recreates the plan from the inputs and recomputes every scenario with its own engine, so you can change gases, adjust settings, and explore contingencies. The website’s “Open in Dive Kit” button uses a divekit:// deep link to jump straight into the app.

Opening, editing, and re-sharing a plan in the app is a Dive Kit Pro action. Without Pro you can still read the plan in full, both on the web and in the app.

Safety: A plan you read on the web is the sender’s model of a dive, not a plan you have checked. Before you treat any shared schedule as your own, open it in the app, confirm the gases and depths, and reset the settings to your own defaults if they differ. Dive your own plan, your own training, and your own judgement.
