Later on you said you did learn how to do this (see #5), since you are in no decompression limits for this dive. In your class, you should have been shown how to calculate all of this, and you said that you did.

Ah, I see. It is not that your instructor did not teach you NDL diving. He "screwed" you by not teaching you how to do decompression dives, which is not part of the course. You wish he had added $1,000 worth of training to the course for free.

Did the instructor refuse to explain these parts of the course to you, and, if so, why did you sign two documents saying that he did teach them to you?
If it makes you feel better, continue to rip on your instructor. I'm sure it will make you feel better.

-How do I calculate my decompression zones and times? Not to sure on it. I just did a 75 ft dive for 30 minutes and took a 3 minute 15 ft Decomp stop.

How were you "screwed"? In post #5 you said you learned how to do it.Good **** guys..I guess I did get somewhat screwed in my OW course. .

I would LOVE to go night diving and see wrecks,caves and go deep. From the looks of it,thats another 1k in training. This is what Im not liking about diving =-(

And he can repeat what you learned about no decompression diving. He is certainly not going to teach you decompression diving, which is a much bigger topic than you seem to think.As far as learning how to decomp and such,Ill ask my instructor again.

He taught you no decompression diving, which is part of the course. Emergency decompression procedures were covered in Knowledge Review #5 in the course. You had to sign that at the bottom to indicate that you understood everything on it and that the instructor went over it. There was also a question on emergency decompression procedures on your final exam. You had to sign that to indicate that the instructor had gone over anything you did not get right on the exam. Finally, emergency decompression procedures are on the RDP or the eRDPml for you to refer to in case you forget.I learn how to use the diving table,the one that you can use to figure out multiple dives and how long you can stay in the water and such..As far as decomp,I dont think we even covered it to well if we did...Wow,shows how much some instructors care.

If that is all you want, to deal with emergencies, then either go back and read what is in your course book, or read the fine print on your RDP or eRDPml.I just REALLY wanna learn how to figure out if I will need a decomp dive..EVEN if Im a beginner .I feel that this is a skill to have no matter what. Understanding the dangers of my dive and how to prepare for them is important to me even if this is considered "advance".
