Introduction

Kenozooid is software used to plan and analyse diving activities. Features like dive data plotting and analysis, dive planning and dive computer support along with simple but powerful logbook maintenance are already implemented.

Kenozooid is free software licensed under terms of GPL license.

Features

Kenozooid is under heavy development, but following features are already implemented

• high quality dive data plotting using R statistical software

  • one plot per page

  • overlay of multiple plots on one graph

  • configurable (title on/off, legend on/off, plot labels, dive information on/off, temperature graph on/off)

  • PDF, SVG and PNG are supported formats

• dive data analysis using R statistical software

• dive planning

  • decompression dive planning

  • ppO2, ppN2, EAD and MOD calculators

• logbook management

  • dives listing, searching, adding and removal

  • dive sites listing, searching, adding and removal

  • buddies listing, searching, adding and removal

• dive computers support

  • dive data fetching

  • execution of dive simulation using dive computers providing such capabilities

  • backup of dive computer data

  • regeneration of dive data from backup to improve and fix data in case of new Kenozooid capabilities and bug fixes

• drivers for following devices are implemented

  • open source OSTC based dive computers (OSTC, Mk.2, N2) by HeinrichsWeikamp GbR

  • Sensus Ultra by ReefNet Inc.

  • dummy device driver displaying information to standard output

• neat and powerful command line user interface

• native UDDF file format support (implies built-in interoperability with other applications)

Planned Features

New dive computer drivers can be added on request if a dive computer is supported by Libdivecomputer library.

At least two different dive planning algorithms will be implemented

• ratio deco schedules calculation

• integration with OSTC or DR5 source code to calculate dive plan based on Buhlmann GF decompression algorithm
