Hi,
Is there a minimum voltage to have in order to be sure I can start a 60 min dive?

Hello Raph,
Discharge characteristic of the LiPo-battery is nearly rectangular (stays long at 3.7V and drops very fast to the end). So, to add some safety in cold waters I'd not dive if the battery is below 3,4V.
30min of charging before the dive will provide enough juice for an hour in any battery state.
Hope this helps!
regards,
Matthias
