Navy vs Buhlmann tables

[Walter]

I would love to see a copy of those tables. Can you tell me where to find them?

The copy I use can be found at:

It quite a large file but the Buhlmann tables start at page 45.
Hope that helps.

In Europe Buhlmann tables are included as an appendix in most of the TDI manuals. I'm not sure if this is the same in US versions of the TDI manuals.

The Sub Aqua Association in the UK uses Buhlmann tables as their standard tables.

Quote from table: " Enter Table 3 at the row letter from the previous stage. Read along this row until the column intersection point with the planned depth for the next dive is reached. If the required depth falls between the two tabulated values, select the lower value (this will carry the greater penalty)."

You would then return to the first table and take the deepest depth

I think that this is unfortunately a poor translation from the original German. If anybody has a copy of John Lippmans book "deeper into diving" there are copies of the origional German tables and the correct translation should be "select the value for the lower depth" (ie deeper - correctly giving the greater penalty )

As my german isn't perfect I will have to ask a real german to be 100% sure.
