NDL
No-Decompression Limit
Tables
Max bottom time at a given depth before mandatory decompression stops are required. Stay within NDL and a normal ascent + 3–5 min safety stop is sufficient.
EAD
Equivalent Air Depth
Nitrox
The shallower air-equivalent depth for nitrox, giving longer NDLs.
EAD = (Depth + 33) × (1 − FO₂) ÷ 0.79 − 33
MOD
Maximum Operating Depth
Nitrox
Deepest safe depth before O₂ partial pressure exceeds 1.4 ATA.
MOD (ft) = (1.4 ÷ FO₂ − 1) × 33
EAN32=111ft · EAN36=95ft · EAN40=79ft
TOD
Theoretical Ocean Depth
Altitude
At altitude, actual depth is converted to TOD for table lookup — corrects for lower atmospheric pressure. Used via PADI altitude correction factors.
TOD = Actual Depth × Correction Factor
PG
Pressure Group
Tables
Letter A–Q indicating residual nitrogen. A = minimal nitrogen. After a surface interval, nitrogen off-gasses and your letter drops.
RNT
Residual Nitrogen Time
Tables
Minutes of nitrogen your body is "carrying" from the previous dive. Added to actual BT to get TBT for the NDL check.
SS
Safety Stop
Safety
3–5 minute pause at 15 ft during ascent. Strongly recommended on every dive, especially deeper than 30 ft.
DCS
Decompression Sickness
Safety
"The bends." Ascending too fast causes dissolved nitrogen to form bubbles. Emergency: DAN +1-919-684-9111.
SAC
Surface Air Consumption
Tank
Your breathing rate expressed as psi/min at the surface. Used to predict tank duration at any depth.
SAC = PSI Used ÷ (ATA × Time)

⚠ Educational Use Only
Not a substitute for dive training or a certified dive computer. Always dive within your certification limits. Never dive alone.
Altitude corrections use PADI depth factors. EAD formula per NOAA/IANTD. Pressure groups from U.S. Navy tables.
