Three rules for a dive surface
Built so a surface controller can read 14 hours of telemetry like a logbook, not a wall of gauges.
Every reading at its depth
The page is stratified by dive phase. A number is never loose — it sits at the depth it was sampled, so context comes for free.
One continuous sounding
A plotted depth-vs-time curve runs the full page. Descent, bottom, and ascent read as one line — the shape of the whole dive at a glance.
Findings, not floating notes
Commentary is leader-connected to the chart or sample it explains. The review reads as a document, with the evidence kept beside it.
Descent profile · Dive 217
The shape of the whole dive, in one line.
Descent rate, holds, the bottom traverse, and the climb out all live on a single plotted profile. Anomalies show as a kink in the curve before they show as an alarm — and the surface controller sees the dive as one decision, not a stream of disconnected gauges.
Take a dive deeper than the dashboard.
Open Sounding on your next operation and read the descent as the long-form review it always was.
