Warning: The U.S. Navy Dive Tables were designed to Navy specifications for use by Navy Divers.
When used by recreational divers, the tables should be used conservatively. Even when used correctly
with proper safety procedures, decompression sickness may still occur.

Safety Stop Procedure: It is recommended that you make a 3- to 5-minute safety stop
at 5 metres on all dives over 9 metres.

Omitted Decompression PRocedure: Should you exceed the Doppler No-

Decompression Time Limits by less than 5 minutes on any dive, it is recommended that you ascend
normally to 5 metres and stop for at least 10 minutes or longer if your air supply allows. Should you
exceed the Doppler No-Decompression Time Limits by more than 5 minutes but less than 10 minutes
on any dive, it is recommended that you stop at 5 metres for at least 20 minutes or longer if your air
supply allows.
Refrain from any further scuba diving activities for at least 24 hours.
