PADI Recreational Dive Planner (small)

The purpose of the Recreational Dive Planner is to make all dives no decompression dives. Proper planning assures that all dives, single or repetitive, are within the no decompression limits by controlling the length of the dive, the depth of the dive, and the surface interval between dives. Use of the Recreational Dive Planner requires having and using an accurate depth gauge, an underwater timer, a slate and pencil and the planner itself. You need to know the depth of each dive so you can determine the maximum time allowed, or you must limit your depth to a specifi c planned maximum depth. Always consult the Recreational Dive Planner before each dive to be sure you know your no decompression limit. Note the time on an underwater slate and carry it with you and also note the no decompression limit for the next deeper depth, in case you accidentally exceed your depth limit. Remember that your deepest dive is always first, and each successive dive is to an equal or shallower depth than the preceding dive. If your time limits are short, consider making a shallower dive to permit more time. The Recreational Dive Planner Table is actually three tables linked together. Each of the three tables provides information for planning dives within accepted nitrogen levels.
