GUE goes tabular

To me it just looks that GUE is using Navy-based NDL.

If they aren't Buhlmann, they're probably Navy. There are few other pubic domain tables they could legally cite.

Looks like the NOAA 32% chart with contingency deco and deep stuff removed.

good catch, although the 40-50ft depths are more conservative with GUE.

Are the RNTs and letter groups taken from NOAA's as well?

Looks like GUE stopped the table at letter group M and just called that the max for 40 & 50 feet. Not that I know of many divers spending 405 min at 40 feet, which is the NOAA limit. The only other changes I see are adjusting the RNTs for 50 feet to represent the shorter limit.

My question is, if this becomes or is the official table for GUE, how do I order me my table? Is it for sale on their website?

Anyone have the link?

$30.00.

GUE sent the table out by email a couple of months ago. Unfortunately the file doesn't print well, so I emailed GUE and the Rec author Jesper for a print resolution file, but never heard back ...?

I own the Rec book pdf file, and the table in there also prints poorly.

Too bad - I'd have liked to have a laminated version I could actually use.

It printed crystal clear for me via laser printer (at work - Shhhhh!)...

You can get the tables & rec1 books by being a GUE member. Although I don't think there's a plastic laminated version anywhere.

Kinkos will laminate all 503 pages of the Rec-1 download should anyone like...

I asked a similar question on the UTD forums a while back, albeit in relation to the air tables I was taught in my Essentials course. I'm sure the methodologies are quite similar.

I don't know where GUE got the tables, either, but I know what Steve told me about min deco. Does anybody have a copy of DecoPlanner? Run bottom times until you get 1 minute stops from half maximal depth, and those should be the bottoms times we're seeing.

Hmmm. What GUE sent was a 5" x 5" png file at 150 dpi, which is "fuzzy" at 100% at screen resolution. Didn't print well at all - and I do graphics and such for work ... shhh The small numbers are almost unreadable - even with my glasses on I just can't help but wonder why they didn't just send a pdf version. It could have been made almost infinitely scalable and would print perfectly. Of course it'd have been nice if *someone* had gotten back to me - even if just to tell me to take a hike :shrug:

The Rec 1 book unfortunately is even worse. It's set up for screen resolution (72 dpi) only. It's readable if printed, but not great.

Just a pet peeve of mine. Other than download size, there is absolutely no reason to electronically publish in so-so resolution. Especially when you must know that most people will print to read.

That's a paid subscription forum. I happen to know the content and Buhlmann won't generate a "no deco" or "min deco" table like the NOAA ones GUE has adapted.

IMO, the fact that we can have a discussion of PADI vs. NAUI vs. NOAA vs. Navy vs. GUE tables is due to the fact that at one point we all learned tables. Skipping that step completely in a recreational course would be omitting a useful point of reference.
