Question

My buddy and I have just finished a dive to 15 metres/50 feet for 60 minutes. We want to return to the same site and depth and stay another 60 minutes. We can ______________________ to see about how long we have to remain at the surface to have enough no stop time. (choose all that apply)

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Periodically check the no stop or NDL time on their computers

2) The dive computer planning mode can be used if available

3) Make use of a dive planning app

4) Check data from the RDP table or an eRDPML

Explanation:

The no stop times information from the computer gives the no-decompression limit (NDL) time allowable which is the time duration a diver theoretically is able to stay at a given depth without a need for a decompression stop

The dive computer plan mode or a downloadable dive planning app are presently the easiest methods of dive planning

The PADI RDP are dive planners based on several years of experience which provide reliable safety limits of depth and time.
