Once you exit the
water, your body starts
to eliminate the additional
nitrogen absorbed at depth.
Over time, you will progress
through different nitrogen groups
(for example, F to E to D, etc.), until
after 12 hours without diving, you
will become a non-repetitive diver.

Diving to the ANDL as

53 a repetitive diver is
similar to diving to
58 the NDL as a NRD and
should be avoided.

TBT
These tables are
based upon the U.S.
Navy air tables.
Equivalent nitrox depths are
derived by equating the
nitrogen partial pressure of
32%nitrox (32% O2, 68% N2)
to that of air (21% O2, 79% N2).
Equating Formula:
Equiv. Nitrox depth (feet)=
[(Air Depth + 33')x(.79/.68)]-33'

ABT

On Table 4, the amount of nitrogen

contained in your body when you enter
the water (RNT) must be added to
=
+
the amount of nitrogen accumulated
TBT

during your dive (ABT) to compute
=
