3.3 Decreasing the tyde

The tyde decreases using this formular:

$ Tide = Tide - X * (Tide - Y * (length\;of\;current\;path))$

With X and Y the falling of the tyde can be affected. These factors can vary for each case found in ''finding a new path''. If a new path was found that was beneath the tyde it uses ALPHA for X and BETA for Y. If a path was found, but it leads to the surface the factor DELTA is used for X and GAMMA for Y and if there was no path possible PHI is used for X and TETA for Y. Values used for X should be near 0.0095 and for Y near 1. These are experienced values that are confirmed by us.
