Is there a better way to memorize my dive tables for SCUBA?
I’m enrolled in a NAUI Basic Openwater certification course. As part of my certification, I need to memorize the NAUI dive tables, and pass an exam on them with a 100% score a few weeks from now. I have a feeling that my exam will be filling in a blank copy of the tables.
While we haven’t gone over them in class, I’ve looked them over and they look daunting. For anyone whose done this in the past, is there a specific way of learning them or writing them out (like by memorizing a few fields you can calculate/interpolate the rest)? Or do I simply need to memorize each indivdual field?
For reference, here’s an internet image of what the tables look like.

i dont know how naui works but in padi you dont have to learn the hole table maybe you just need to learn how to use it ask you instructor and if you have to learn it good luck , something that work for me was learning only the maximum bottom time for each deep try that
Double check with your instructor, but there’s no way they expect you to know the RDP inside and out. Just how to use them to calculate given the parameters provided to you to find missing information.
I’ve been diving for over 20 years now and there’s no way I could recite them verbatim.
write it by pen on ur hand
I am NAUI certified and I didn’t have to memorize the tables…just demostrate I knew how to use them. When you go in the ocean, you get to take them with you, or if you are in this century you get to use a computer. Oh wait…computers don’t work underwater, better memorize the charts.
