Big change regarding diveplanning - no more RDP
New Dive Computer Option for the PADI Open Water Diver Course.

Effective August 2009 you can choose to teach RDP Table version, ERD ML or Divecomputers. If you start teaching Divecomputers instead for the RDPs the students must:

- Read "How to use and choose dive computers" (new guide)
- Complete the Knowledge Review in the back of "How to use and choose dive computers" (answer key www.padi.com)
- Instructor use the new PADI Dive Computer Simulator to teach the use of dive computers before the dives
- Student answer revised Quiz 4 and final exam (download questions on www.padi.com) answer keys remain the same.

Not to surprising in my eyes considering how common dive computers are in the dive community today. important of course is that all instructors still spend time during module 4 and 5 teaching the students decompression theory, the importance of dive planning to keep nitrogen levels down, importance of monitoring depth, bottom time and surface intervals.

Remember the change is effective from August 2009, so continue teach the ERDP ML and or RDP Table version but start already now to use the "How to use and choose dive computers" as an extra presentations for the students during module 4 and 5.

thats it for today, bit busy going online now to buy stocks in Suunto!!!
Bye for now, jonas
