Learning how to plan a dive using a dive table provides a basic understanding of decompression theory. However, most dives are not classic rectangular profiles (as calculated using a dive table), but rather so-called multilevel dives (dives with varying depth levels). Nowadays, divers generally no longer use dive tables for planning and conducting their dives. Modern dive computers with many useful features make dive planning and execution simpler and safer, provided they are used correctly by divers. The “Computer Diving” specialty course offers you an interesting insight into the world of dive computers and various calculation models.Course Structure and Content:Independent study of the theory in the SSI online training, including a final test1 theory unit*SSI Digital Kit not included in the price
