  22. Drawing the Dive Profile • Avoid confusion and make sure you don’t miss steps. Surface Interval between dives (hours and minutes) Pressure Group after Surface Interval Pressure Group after Dive 1 Pressure Group after Dive 2 : RNT Depth Depth +ABT TBT Bottom Time Bottom Time Find the RAT! Dive 1 Dive 2

  23. Planning Multiple Repetitive Dives • Indicate the final pressure group upon surfacing after the following series of dives. 1:00 M D S 40’ 50’ 25 RNT Depth Depth +60 +ABT 40 60 85 TBT

  24. Planning Multiple Repetitive Dives • Indicate the final pressure group upon surfacing after the following series of dives. :24 50’ 55’ RNT Depth Depth + +ABT 50 30 TBT

  29. Minimum Surface Interval • Find the minimum surface interval required to complete the following series of dives. :11 S P 40’ 50’ RNT Depth Depth + +ABT 60 70 TBT

  30. Special Rules • Flying after diving – wait 12 hours or for repetitive dives and/or multiple days wait 18 hours (suggested) • Cold – add 10 feet • 1000’ altitude limit for RDP • Safety Stop – always do a safety stop • A Safety Stop is REQUIRED for dives 100’ plus or within three letter groups of NDL, or NDL • Ascend no faster than 60 feet per minute

  31. Emergency Decompression • If a no decompression limit is exceeded by no more than 5 minutes, an 8 minute decompression stop at 15 feet is mandatory. Upon surfacing the diver must stay out of the water for at least 6 hours. • If a no decompression limit is exceeded by more than 5 minutes a 15 foot decompression stop at 15 feet is urged (air supply permitting). Upon surfacing the diver must remain out of the water for at least 24 hours before making another dive.
