Diving Tables

Diving tables are tools used by divers to plan their underwater activities safely. They help determine how long a diver can stay at a certain depth without risking decompression sickness, which occurs when nitrogen bubbles form in the body due to rapid ascents. By considering factors like depth and time spent underwater, the tables indicate safe limits for diving and necessary rest periods for nitrogen to safely leave the body. They are essential for ensuring dives are conducted within safe boundaries, preventing health risks associated with improper decompression.
