Are they based on the DSAT RDP science, or the US Navy tables?

When I was last teaching SSI still included the tables in the OW material, we also had formal class academics that consisted of a few hours a night during the week or all day on a Sat.
Fast forward a dozen years and I was in the LDS that is PADI and was talking to the counter lady and we got on the subject of training, I learned that class academics and dive tables are a thing of the past. All eLearning and dive computers.
From what I understand (talking to her) you just do the eLearning and show up at the LDS and the Instructor will go over how to use a computer than it's off to the pool for skill work.
Also appears the LDS doesn't sell course work in-house; the perspective student goes out to the agency website and purchases the course and is then affiliated with a LDS based on the students address.
Times have changed for sure.

I just did my SSI open water in May/June and we did cover tables and how to use them for consecutive dives, etc.
