    71 When changing the altitude in Baltic, the generated plan is still computed assuming salt water and sealevel pressure when computing depths, just with a lower surface pressure. This means that the plans are suitable for using gauge that's calibrated for ocean diving, not a gauge calibrated for fresh water and with a surface pressure of less than 1bar. 
     71When changing the altitude in Baltic, the generated plan is still computed assuming salt water and salt water pressure when computing depths, just with a lower surface pressure. This means that the plans are '''not''' suitable for using gauge that's calibrated for ocean diving. An altitude adjusted gauge is required. A later version may offer the ability to toggle between generating plans for adjusted gauges and not.
