[@jasonhollmann4757]

This has been the easiest to understand by far. Thank you!

First time overhere and thank you so much for the easy explanation!

[@ADubb-rc4yv]

WHAT AN AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thank you.

[@aussiegautama4475]

Excellent video mate ! As a DM student, this is a great help. With computer nowadays, can we use average depth instead of max depth ? Many thanks n greetings from Indonesia 😊

[@garysmitherman]

Excellent clear explanation . Simples .

Great one. Thank you.

Now i understand the system of the tabel and it is good when is a video so you can see it again if i mist something 😊

[@moonshroom13]

wow, thanks for that, quick and easy, ..but!...must be said, I find the BSAC tables a lot easier and simpler x

Hi and thanks for the comments, glad it was quick and easy for you 👍

Very helpful and made it a lot easier to understand!

Hey Jim thanks for the comment and so glad it helped you understand good luck 👍

@@TheDiveLine I have a question. I have a dive of 31m for 30 minutes. I rounded the depth up to 35m and the maximum time it shows is 14 in the black box. Does this mean I am in pressure group K?

[@TheDiveLine]

@@jimlucas5772 yes theoretically if you did that stupid dive you would be in pressure group K after only 14 minutes at a depth of 35m using the table without a surface interval of less than 5 minutes, provided your air lasted that long of course, but you would also need to do a decompression stop on your way back up aswell, However I would not advise you to attempt such a dive it would be a little bit crazy! 😂 If you are trying to work out some pressure groups stick to the maximum depth you have as a new diver, 18m maximum, do not push to the limits on time allowed especially if you are doing multiple dives in a single day! For example having an 18m dive for 20 minutes without a surface interval would leave you in pressure group F, or with a surface interval of 8minutes and above the pressure group would start to lower! Hope that helps and I understood your question correctly? 👍 ps buy atleast one decent computer and let that do the working out for you! 👍

[@jimlucas5772]

Thank you for your help. It has made me understand things a bit more clearly.

[@TheDiveLine]

@@jimlucas5772 no problem I’m glad it helps in a more simple way! Many get themselves mixed up with it and don’t get proper tuition it’s not that scary really and a computer is your best friend 👍

Hey Barry thanks very much I hope this has helped you with your tables 👍

[@jimlynn3455]

Very clear instruction video but sadly unclear in this respect. In the US, thus using Imperial RDP, I converted meters to feet (1 m = 3.28084 ft). Thus the parameters , when changed to ft, Dive 1 is 65.62 ft and Dive 2 is 52.49 ft (exactly same depth only measured differently). Using those numbers with the Imperial RDP chart, The outcomes don't match your answer page. From my RDP tables PG1=Q and, after SI, PG2 =E making RNT=17 and TBT= 47 resulting in PG3 at S. I don't have access to your RDP table and don't know how to evaluate the differences. Or maybe I'm making processing errors but processed 3 times working from PADI RDP instruction book. Please advise.

[@TheDiveLine]

Hi Jim thanks for the comment, tbh my advise here would be to use the same process only as explained in the video regardless of imperial or metric, the figures will be slightly different as they are not direct conversions, 18m is 59ft not 60ft as shown in the imperial table! The process though is exactly the same for the US version of the table and following the process will gone you the correct pressure group! 👍

[@jimlynn3455]

@@TheDiveLine Thanks but in a process of learning conservative safety in diving I don't see the value of this confusion. To be sure you and your group did not create the tables so again, thanks for the clear tutorial o ow to use them.

When, in Rome do as the Romans do!

Cool you are wery good to explane it so thank you wery mutch.💪😀

[@TheGweedMan]

Actually, the RDP tables are no longer required in PADI classes. Buy a computer that is safer and/or longer and have more fun. Throwaway these ancient tables.

[@thedoublet4301]

What do you suggest for those of us who are still using the analog gages and don’t have a computer?
