You'll need a reasonable understanding of partial pressures and an ability to multiply and divide.

Can't remember as it was about 4 years ago I did mine but if you want to borrow the manual for a preview, I'm only 5 minutes away from Halesowen

Hi,
Thanks for the info nickb.
Warmwaterdiver very kind offer (No way this would have happened as a new member on divernet! I'm NOT going back now!!)
would like to take U up on it, I could meet you somewhere saturday. Earlier rather than later on saturday would be great as I have to got to cannock to pick up a cylinder i've just had tested and i think the missus want to go to Merry hell! but just let me know a time and place and i'll be there.
Many Thanks
Ian

Never Mind.
I'm sure going over some of my old lecture notes no the topics you suggested nickb will be a good enough head start.
You must admit it was a very generous offer to make as i'm so new here!
Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,

I would suggest revising your SAA-Buhlmann tables. During the course you will plan a number of dives, including repetitive dives using Nitrox. The instructor will assume that you are already familliar with planning repetitive dives using the SAA-Buhlmann tables.

In particular pay attention to the RNT table, especially for depths that fall between the two depths. In this table remeber that you take the shallower of the two depth - Remember Go For Gold

Everything else will be covered in detail during the course.

Good luck.

Thanks Mark,
The course was sunday just gone, passed no problem
You are right there were a number of dive plans needed. Anyone taking it would be wise to do plenty of practise with the tables.
Thanks
Ian
