Some form of planning is done for most underwater dives, but the complexity and detail considered may vary enormously. Professional diving operations are usually formally planned and the plan documented as a legal record that due diligence has been done for health and safety purposes.

It may also be used to physically control rate of descent and ascent, particularly by Surface supplied diving, surface-supplied divers. A "lazy shot" is a shot which is suspended above the bottom. It may be tethered to the main shot line at a convenient depth. It is used for decompression and frees the main shot line for other divers. The lazy shot's line does not need to be longer than the decompression depth and is often only deep enough for the longer stops. It only n ...
