Do you often find that the PADI RDP limits your dive time? Do you want to spend more time swimming along that beautiful coral reef on holiday? Are you baffled by the idea of diving with a computer and which one you should choose? The PADI Multilevel specialty will introduce the key concepts to help you overcome these problems.

The PADI ERDPML has been formulated to extend no-decompression limits by calculating dives as multilevel profiles. Students will learn how to plan dives on the wheel to make the most of the available time within no-decompression limits. The history of decompression theory and how the PADI table and PADI wheel were created along with the concepts of how computers calculate dive profiles are covered in this course.
