Dive Tables Online?

[wcoyote]

Does anyone know where in can find a copy the different dive tables for PADI, NAUI, YMCA, etc online?
I want to look at the differences between them and find about which are more concervative and which are more liberal in their calculations.
(I am PADI AOW and have the plastic PADI tables, but it would be eiser to just view them online.)

Thanks

Hey Scuba Coyote,
I spoke to :royal: about your request and it turns out that he is actually in the process of putting together a section where they are all available to view or print if needed. It would be terrible to take a trip and dicover you forgot your tables in your garage wouldn't it? Pretty soon all you'll have to do is click on the section, pull up a table and voila!

Hey Coyete!

There I was one day surfing around and came across this site, has most of the tables you could use.

Hope this helps

wcoyote.....I have the first page of the YMCA tables on my website. It has everything except the definitions, rules, and the decompression table on it. All of those are on the back page of the tables, which I just haven't had time to work on yet. You can look at it here. You may have to hit your browsers refresh button a time or 2 to se all the table lines. I've yet to figure out why it's acting up that way.

Don't most tables and most computers use RGBM?

Isn't it easier to dive with a computer instead?

Unless you were doing deco stuff.

Some of the newer tables are using RGBM, but I would venture to say that "most" aren't yet. Ditto on the computers, to my knowledge very few are incorporating the RGBM algorithm yet.

While most recreational divers use computers, I think its very important that they keep a working knowledge of tables and have some idea where they are in regard to the tables during every dive. This increases their chances of successfully dealing with an "uh oh" with their computers should one occur, as well as not ruining a dive trip due to a computer failure.

In all fairness, computer failures are rare, but they do occur. But just because most people own a calculator doesn't mean they should forget how to do math problems longhand if necessary.

Here's a place you can grab tables as GIFs.

The owner is selling table training software.

Thanks for the links everyone. I was hoping someone would have posted a link to high (1000Ft+) elevation diving. There are some fresh water ponds near me that are over 1K feet above see level and I was hoping to reference them before I go diving. Thanks in advance.

RGBM has very little, if any, application to recreational diving. It's for deep, deco dives using He.

The same tables are used, but with some changes to the procedures.

There is a bit more to altitude diving than just the tables. A little time with the PADI AOW manual and an instructor would be a good idea.
