Dive Diary Dive News - The Koh Tao IDC Group Monday, August 04, 2008 PADI Introduce the Electronic Recreational Dive Planner for Multilevel Dive Planning The eRDPML is the next generation electronic dive planner. Like its predecessor the eRDP, the new eRDPML is not a dive computer but an electronic dive table that allows the user to plan single level and multilevel dives. While the first generation eRDP provided the same information as the Recreational Dive Planner (RDP) table, the eRDPML provides the same information as The Wheel, in an electronic format. The eRDPML helps maximize bottom time by allowing dive planning in two-metre/fivefoot increments. I guess students are going to find it easier with the DM Theory and Instructor Exam dive theory using this new version of the ERDP. Might change the way we teach module number 4 and 5 during the PADI Open Water Course and also might put more focus on the actual computer diving part during the Adventure Dive "Multi level and Dive Com'. Lets see if we decide to switch to the use of the ERDPML instead of the Tableversion of the RDP in the future.. I guess it depends on the price tag for this 'super planner'. Also a questions might be if the standards might change regarding the 3 table requirement for all diveprofessional. i keep you updated regarding any details i get regarding the ERDPML. Jonas ::
