Quiz - Recreational Dive Planner™ - Pressure Group After Third Dive

[rhwestfall]

I know that this is a PADI question, but I'm curious about other historical dive planners. Searching on ebay now, but if anyone knows off the top of their heads, I'd like to hear about it. I do like to collect old materials.

NAUI makes/made one. My daughter used it for her training just a few years back. It is called: Dive Time Calculator II

my other favorite device is the NASDS Scuba Time Calculator (SAC/RMV slide rule)

NASDS Tables with the "SI calculator" was also pretty cool

The Wheel was different in it allowed for multi-level calculations to take place, giving you more BT than traditional square tables profiles.

NAUI Surface Air Consumption Rate Calculator is another one...

Incomming. Mine has a case too!

and slates and instructions?

there were two style "cases", a folder and a zipper-seal bag...

One of my interests is how to decorate my future dive op. I figure a wall area with dive slates/devices from as many agencies as possible might be a good addition. I'll look for the items you mentioned. Thanks.

My two Wheels are the original version (left) and the Rev 2 version from 2005.

I know I have the first generation, but I have to check if I have the second...

edit - both of mine are generation 1 models...

@tursiops - do you know what the differences are?

Another unusual table is the short form of the DCIEM table from Canada. It is a completely different format than most of the others.

NAUI RGBM Air Table is another "interesting" one.

I'm actually surprised, given the number of people here, there aren't more responses. I can pretty much bet the majority of them aren't too "busy."

That is to say unless an inordinant number of Divers are long haul drivers.

I was interested in this observation also. As it turns out, the 5 quizzes with the least number of voters has been April 6, 21, 22, 23, and 24. These turn out to be the 5 questions concerning the PADI RDP. April 6 asked about the number of compartments used in the algorithm and which compartment controlled the SI. The last 4 have all been problems to be worked out by using the RDP. April 21 started out very simple and they have increased in complexity somewhat over the next 3 days. The number of votes for these were 23, 46, 28, 21, and 22. The average number of votes per quiz since April 1 has been 75 (21-135).

The quizzes with the most responses were over weighted diver (135), J-valve (130), the balloon and tank in the sun (122) and the dropped tank (121).

You can draw your own conclusions based on these observations. Correct, I have way too much free time these days
