- How long are you able to dive for your planning depth?
- How much is the quantity of nitrogen in body at the time of first diving end?
- How long is Surfacing Time from each depth for safety?

You are able to examine the time that you are able to stay at your planning depth.
|
How long is your No-decompression Dive Limit in case of your planning depth is 18m? |
|
《The usage of Dive Table》
① You look for 18m from diving depth (D).
② You trace 18m aside and look for a circled number.
③ In case of your planning depth is 18m, your No-decompression Dive Limit is 40 minutes. |

|
a) Bottom Time b) No-decompression Dive Limit |
