World's Simplest Dive Table

Ideal for entry level or resort divers making no-decompression dives

Actual Size

The Short Form Table is a conservative, entry-level table designed for novice divers. This easy to follow table simplifies the learning curve by eliminating repetitive groups, residual nitrogen times, multiple lines, arrows and flow charts. It takes only a few minutes to master this innovative dive table.

To use the short form table

Find the depth in the depth column and read the first dive no-decompression limit from the column to the left of the depth column; e.g., first dive limit for 60 feet is 50 minutes.
To find the no-decompression limit for a repetitive dive, match the surface interval with the depth of the repetitive dive" e.g., the repetitive dive no-decompression limit for a 50 foot dive after a surface interval of two hours is 38 minutes. The minimum surface interval required is 30 minutes.

The short form table is not intended for decompression dives, multi-level dives or dives at altitude.

"This is a simple, entry-level table that is very easy to use".
