This is a good shortcut to keeping up with residual nitrogen, but it may be missing an important factor, which is maximum allowable bottom time for your next dive (the planning part of these tables). That is given to you on Table 3, which isn't mentioned in this presentation.
My dive instructor taught me this way. It's been a long time since, I'd forgotten it. Getting back into diving so this is very helpful. Thanks from Australia
the clarity and the simplicity of the way you taught this was phenomenal- in diving school and oh man I was getting taught butt backwards , thank you!!
This is a GREAT video to show how to use a dive table. Watch his part 102, 103 and 104 to get more details on how to calculate dive times and no decompression limits. Exactly what everybody wants, it’s just in different videos. Love this!!!
Nice simple explanation. Got certified as a kid back in the 70's and have recently gotten back into it. Was trying to understand the old dive tables and this brought it right back to me. With everyone using computers seems like no one cares about dive tables anymore which is a shame.
Super helpful. I took a PADI class years ago and ended up failing this portion of the test but u explained it much better than my instructor did at the time. I think I’ll have a better chance at passing next time I go thank u!
Good refresher . The first piece of dive equipment I purchased after getting certified was a dive computer. I now have a primary and a alternate computers. You get so much more bottom time
This is so helpful as a new dive instructor! I’m not the best at breaking things down but if I follow the way you did this I think my students will understand. Thanks so much!
I just bumped into this video by chance. I'm not even interested in diving. BUT this video is very informative. Almost like watching the science channel.
This video is helpful but also problematic. It helpfully simplifies the tables by pointing out that, in Table 3 (which is not referenced), the Residual Nitrogen Time (RNT) after surface interval equals the maximum time allowed for a particular pressure group on Table 1. But this instructor computes the Total Bottom Time for a repetitive dive by adding the RNT to an already performed Actual Bottom Time (ABT). That's fine if the ABT has not exceeded the allowable no-decompression time, but the instructor does not show how to use Table 3 in advance for planning a repetitive dive. He only calculates ABT after a repetitive dive. If you haven't consulted Table 3, you don't know the time limit for ABT. So the math works out, but he has not shown how to plan a safe no-decompression repetitive dive.
I have been a commercial diver for the last 33 years and come across numerous incidents on DCS.The USN Tables are the basis of PADI but over the years USN tables have been made safer with Revision 6 in practice now.Its a know factor that chances of decompression increases with repetitive dives.The number of Decompression incidents are increasing as sports divers try to get deeper using dive computers and rebreathers and Trimix the very essence of diving for pleasure goes away when u have a fatality.As a person who spent thousands of hours underwater i approach SCUBA with uttermost caution.I am sure people reading stuff like this on decompression will assume you can keep repetitive dives.A good approach is to plan your dive have a clear picture of your bottom time ,deco obligation and also a back up when all else fails.A good video all you sports divers is this no hollwood stuff real men real danger. th-cam.com/video/9dG5KSD-8J4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for making us newbies (I am only just planning to take the course) aware of the restricted applicability of this video. Knowing that chart 3 exists and that this analysis applies when no-decompression time limits have not been exceeded is good to be aware of.
Very helpful! I was reading the book I got for my course and was still confused. This video helped me understand the tables to where I'm confident in moving forward.
I was certified more than 30 years ago and just started using a dive computer. Only after watching this video have I realised that Table 3 on the other side is redundant!
Very clear explanations. May seam repetitive at the beginning but this makes you understand the sequence by "burning" the sequence into your brain. I'm PADI and glad to be. Have a good dive!
Correct, but the amount of residual nitrogen is represented by the pressure group letter, and you use the time noted by that pressure group at that depth to tell you how long to calculate for. It's letting the diver focus on the time rather than the ppm of dissolved nitrogen in the body.
This is second video I watch and it seems you can carry on diving for ever. It does not explain why you use it, just how. Strange because I found Padi manuals to best ever books I had read in terms of explanation.
. Put your finger on E and slide it across to the depth you plan to dive next. E at 60 feet =17, E at 90 feet =11, E at 35 feet =32 minutes of residual nitrogen. The only time you need to turn it over is when you're looking up your pressure group to determine your minimum surface interval.
Very well explained overall, thank you so much you just made me nail my exam after watching your video a few times and actually putting the work with a few exercises. Subscribed!
table 3 shows you residual nitrogen time and adjusted no decompression limit..(RNT and ANDL) for repetitive dives. Actual bottom time (ABT) is what your "actual" dive time is and it is not to exceed your ANDL.
This is a very neat method, but would be improved with an explanation of how, using this method, to check your no decompression limits for the subsequent dive. It's not hard, you simply subtract your residual time for that depth from the standard No decompression limit for that depth. The method he uses runs the risk of someone doing the maths of adding their residual time to heir actual bottom of time at the end of a dive and accidentally discovering you just blew your no decompression limit.
Your pressure group and residual nitrogen may both be found on the front. For example If you made a dive to 35 feet for 85 minutes you would be in Pressure group P, after an hour surface interval you would be in Pressure group E. You may look up your residual nitrogen for any depth on the front of the dive table. The only time you need to turn it over is when you're looking up your pressure group to determine your minimum surface interval.
Hello sir; Really interesting class, I am about to take the Scuba dive this weekend, at first seeing little confusing but now I got to understand the procedures of the Scuba Table. Anyways, the whole thing here is to make sure that if I'm going to scuba dive, I have to maintain with the dive group to make sure how much residue of nitrogen still in our body. What we want here is to no to have nitrogen residue in our body right? thanks sir. Respectfully; Andy War Veteran Disable Tezas
Michał Piskorski , if he saved your idc, and you didn't know how to present instruction on the dive tables...the basics of underwater safety.....you don't deserve to be an OWSI any more than this idiot presenting
I presented my IDC to one of the people that WROTE the instructors manual, and I have my instructor's number on some pretty famous cert cards. I've had dive shop owners compliment on the way I teach. When it comes to the tables, I make learning them easy, and understandable. SIMPLY because I follow the rules, and don't think I'm better than the Organization we all are members of.
Jim Kay slow clap...these were the best and easiest way to learn I've ever seen...some instructors think they're amazing because they have fancy certificates but then there are the natural teachers!
Michał Piskorski it's obviously a bad or failing instructor that makes his penis hard by cyber flexing...let him flex ultimately his claims are empty and false

happy to help
I've been diving for 2 years and just using computer and hubby's help because of my dyslexia. Your the 1st that made sense. Thank you!!
I'm in a diving school in Seattle and this really helped me better understand this chart. Thank you for clearing that up for me!

U literally SAVED my exam question - I THANK YOU for your CLARITY
I'm 12 years old and this was the only video that helped me understand. Thank you
so awsome, i'm german ,14 years old and understood everything now.
Thank you soooo much. :D
Dive Cozumel
This was super helpful and helped me not fail my test. And it gave me a clearer understanding of how to use the table.
dang. that is a buttload of dives
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for teaching me the dive tables. Something so hard to read and understand you made it very easy. Thanks again
This is so helpful as a new dive instructor! I’m not the best at breaking things down but if I follow the way you did this I think my students will understand. Thanks so much!
Congratulations! One of the best videos I'd seen to explain how to calculate multiple dives using the PADI Dive Tables.
Tables Aren't taught anymore so I am really happy to find this video you did a great job explaining it and without a 2 hour video.
Nuai still teaches tables
Loved the repetition- it really helped to solidify the pattern in my head. Great video, thanks for posting
The instructor that I have sucks at teaching tables. Thank you for your clear explanation!! Very easy to follow!!
I just bumped into this video by chance. I'm not even interested in diving. BUT this video is very informative. Almost like watching the science channel.
A very good explanation, especially on RNT. Not flipping the chart over made it very clear
Very clear - I start class in 3 weeks! Great primer. Clear and good examples. Many thanks!

So the math works out, but he has not shown how to plan a safe no-decompression repetitive dive.
Best comment so far, you 100 % right ,he mislead the viewers safety especially for beginners by ignoring table 3.
Totally agree, it was misleading to say the least.

Wow. This video is proof positive that anything, no matter how simple, can be made confusing.
Thank you for a great presentation! Was extremely clear and now I finally understand the charts. Great job!
Quick, clear, straightforward presentation. If you don't understand this presentation, you're out of luck ;)
Thé professor PADI have got a great disposition to teach...and hé is always asking:can i help you !!!
Thought I was going to mess up that on the exam. Thanks for the explanation! This will help me a lot!!
I teach SSI SDI/TDI/ERDI and IANTD..but I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation! Good work!!
Really well explained. All I recall using was the old US Navy dive tables.
Very clear explanations. May seam repetitive at the beginning but this makes you understand the sequence by "burning" the sequence into your brain. I'm PADI and glad to be.
Have a good dive!
morkbov ** I agree. As a teacher I can tell you that his repetition is very helpful.
Very good video, clear and easy to understand. Thanks for refreshing me on the RDP
THIS IS INCORRECT - THE RESIDUAL NITROGEN IS CALCULATED USING TABLE 3 - NOT BY RE_USING TABLE 1!!!
YO!!! Finally, I see the light! Thank you so much!
yep agreed its easy quick and clear! Residual Nitrogen is what we are after.
This guy is great! Dive Tables simplified.
now i understand..i pass my OW last month but still don't quite understand the RDP..thanks for the video...
Very simple and easy to understand way to run the tables.
Clear and concise... great video.. PADI table made simple.
Excellently put across thanks for that.- Been diving years but still have to revise this every year I go ..lol ..
Thank you thank you thank you! A quick and great logical rehearsal...
Dude thank you, this made it so
Much easier to understand
The numbers across from the Vertical Pressure Group are the minutes not the "amount of residual nitrogen"
Correct, but the amount of residual nitrogen is represented by the pressure group letter, and you use the time noted by that pressure group at that depth to tell you how long to calculate for. It's letting the diver focus on the time rather than the ppm of dissolved nitrogen in the body.
Correct he needs to use the Info on the other side if the slate
Yeah that was confusing...

This was a lot better then the PADI e course thanks
Thank u for this video it actually helped me to finally understand diving tables!
Very well explained overall, thank you so much you just made me nail my exam after watching your video a few times and actually putting the work with a few exercises. Subscribed!
I am adding this video to my favorties
Thanks a lot clear and effective explanation
Thank you so much! Iv'e been having problems with dive tables and I finally get them.
table 3 shows you residual nitrogen time and adjusted no decompression limit..(RNT and ANDL) for repetitive dives. Actual bottom time (ABT) is what your "actual" dive time is and it is not to exceed your ANDL.
The Best instruction ever!
This is a very neat method, but would be improved with an explanation of how, using this method, to check your no decompression limits for the subsequent dive.

congratulatios presentation was very good and easy to understand!
Excellent, super presentation based on the chart.
Great instruction, Thank you!
Well explained. Easy to follow. Thank you.
Thanks, very helpful! From Canada
thanks sooo much! ! ! this saves me from failing my dive quiz
Your pressure group and residual nitrogen may both be found on the front. For example If you made a dive to 35 feet for 85 minutes you would be in Pressure group P, after an hour surface interval you would be in Pressure group E.

very helpful! my saviour
Tiny bubbles......in my veins......slowly rising to my brain.
Tiny bubbles......I'm getting that feelin'....that I stayed over my bottom time. ;)
Dont despair you wont care when your in a hyperbaric chamber...(:
Brilliantly explained. Thank you, thank you, thank you....
I got it right away after watching this
thank you for posting this video!
Finally I've got it! Thank You Sir! :)
AMAZING! thaks for explaining!
this was EXTREMELY helpful
Now i can Do the Test! Thank You!!!
i got the bends just watching this guy. helpfull though
Epic.. "I come out of the water as I Pee.."
Kidding aside very informative..
I get it mostly, it's definitely helping me so I can do my assesment Thankyou!
Thanks so much for this video, it was a great help!
Thank you for this post I am a vacation diver unfortunately and this is just great as a refresher

am I stupid ???
😂 I felt the same
The next table I want to get familiar with is bottom time. I'm relearning since my certification 22 years ago and did nothing after cert.
Thank you very much for the clear explanation
Thanks!! That is a great explanation.
Thanks man, you just saved my IDC presentation :)

Excellent video.
Thank you this has helped me so much
Thank you for this video.
VERY helpful video!!
Very informative. Thanks.
Excellent. Made very clear.
Hey! Nice video!
What if I do a third dive?
Is the same process as the second?
Thanks
Been trying to learn them again been awhile
thank you, this helped me a lot.
What's a dive table? Is that the table you use to put your bc on to help get it on your back before diving?
Thx it’s help me very muchhh
Thank you, for the life of me i could not figure this out
Just a question, what do those arrows pointing downward in certain columns mean?
Exactly right, however the point of the video and hence my comment is to demonstrate a method of using the tables such that table 3 is unnecessary.
great explanation.
FULL Throttle45 if you think this is a great explanation, then you are an idiot.
Jeff Pettigrew I watched this before I was certified, now that I am certified I realize that its not.
Best job on covering this that I've seen. Well done! And thank you! Curious how you'd fit table 3 into this.
Chris B watch the other 2 videos; 102 and 103
does it work in the metric table as well?
