Hey the other day I ws looking at two of my dive tables. One of the tables I got while taking my padi basic open water course, the other I got at my dive shop. Anyways while looking at the depths I noticed that there were different allowances for total depth time for the same depth. For example 70 ft in the ndl a list in one of the tables would say 55 minutes, 70 feet on the other dive table would say 40 minutes.
I also have a dive computer, and I do consult the tables often before I go on a dive. That way if there is something wrong with the computer I have something to go by.
My question is which table would I pay more attention to, and would it be harmful if I were to take the 55 and 40 minutes and split the difference and put it to about 45 minutes?
