So the Suunto RGBM algorithm is similar to PADI's and very different from the US Navy's. The PADI RDP was designed to make recreational diving possible. Before the PADI RDP, there was pretty much only the US Navy tables. Try to imagine what recreational diving looked like back then. Pretty much all dive algorithms used for recreational computers have the same goal--otherwise they would be out of business. A diver using a computer that followed the US Navy tables would be very unhappy on a 3-tank dive trip.
But let's go back to the original comment to which I was responding. It stated that all dive algorithms were created on the basis of diving done by young, fit males. I simply said different algorithms had different origins. Ironically, if any of them were based on young, fit males, it would be the US Navy tables, and look at those results. The PADI tables were created as a result of studies done on a wide range of civilian divers., not US Navy sailors.
