Dive Planning using a table

by David Barnes March 27, 2015

We all learn some form of dive planning in our original open water class. Years ago it was with Navy tables, then moved into the PADI recreational dive planner (RPD), then someone came up with the wheel...which sucked, then the eRPDml which is a digital calculator and finally we all have dive computers now with a planning mode. But I still teach my students the basics with the PADI tables. If you want to learn about dive planning or want to refresh your memory check out my links at the bottom. These videos will hopefully make you a safer diver. -Dave
