The wheel should have come with the booklet on how to use it. And your instructor should also be able to help you.
The Workbook has examples and explanations - work backwards through it.
And Yikes again for "passing" the exam without knowing a whole bit of it - I hope your instructor is doing remedial work with you and having you sit the b version later.

Better Return your wheel to the dive shope where you took your course and you can get some pretty cheep wheel and manual on e-bay
Please call the Wheel by it's correct name "Dial a Bends". As a lapsed PADI instructor...the wheel is really a marketing device best served by gathering dust on a bookshelf. With laptops, simple to use RGBM tables there are far easier ways to calculate decompression information these days. Most students lose their ability to work the wheel within weeks, and replace vital deco. info. with something far easier to learn and manage.
I'll keep an eye on this thread if nothing pops up in terms of available info.

There is a video available from PADI if you want to continue past DM you will need to learn the wheel better. I doubt you will ever actually have to teach it but you do have to know it.

Like I said before - a marketing tool from PADI. Nothing like foisting useless product on DM/AI newbies.

What is your recommended method for planning multilevel dives when a computer is not available?

Mr.X:
:huh:
Mr.X,
why do you call it like this, is it because the model used is wrong or because you can make mistake with it?
In the first case, this industry has a BIG problem, in the second, it think this tool is really easy to use ans i would not feel confortable to dive with people not smart enough to understand it...
Charlie99:
OK. You got me there with the computer. I will add that Palm programs do a nice job and they take up virtually no space at all. Some programs are even free.
Here's a question. Given a choice - What program of instruction do you think most divers would opt for? Receiving instruction on theory and practical use of multi-tissue deco. dive computers/Palm/PC programs or using dial-a-bends and paying the bucks for it?
The thought and research of DSAT was novel, however, the product has seen its day lapse into the sunset.
Gregorio...the issue with dial a bends is not the "intelligence" required to use it. That's a peripheral issue. My issue relates more to your first comment - the industry. Selling stuff that no one wants makes for poor public relations. We want new divers to return and purchase more value-added product vs. being upset about being burned.
