divemed06 once bubbled...
Do the various recreational agencies (ie. PADI, NAUI, SSI etc) have their own dive tables (I don't meen design and presentation but rather the numbers)? If so, which is more conservative? Thanks
When I took SSI OW back in 1988, we were using the US Navy Tables, since then, PADI came out with new tables based on some Doppler work.
Since I still run into divers using the Navy tables, I figured I'd better ask.
Even though Recreational Dive Planner is a PADI trademark, some may use the term in a generic way.
Compared to the Navy tables, PADI tables seem to give you a little less time on the first dive and a little more on the second.
