    Hi Voile,

    There is no reason the chart in the Kata needs to go beyond 1.4 bar which is the max safe range for normal recreational diving. I guess I included the wider range because the idea is that the chart is an external source of information the programme needs to reference, and it is published with wider ranges. So in a real life programming scenario, if you were writing code for a dive computer, you would need to limit the range of the input data to suit your programe.

    However, as it's confusing I can remove this easily and will do so now. (In writing this Kata I realized how complicated diving physics and safety is!)

      Sure :)

      total fail there :)

      The chart is reduced now to a .6 - 1.4 range.

    If we're only ever allowing oxygen level to reach 1.35 before declaring it's unsafe, why the chart has values up to 1.8?

    Hi Voile - just fixed this. Thanks for spotting!

    Sample tests says:

    Test.assertEquals(diveSafe(120, 20, 32), 'MOD REACHED. Replan your dive.')

    But description says:

    "MAX OPERATING DEPTH REACHED. Replan your dive."
