The PADI recreational dive planner, in "Wheel" format. The Recreational Dive Planner (or RDP) is a decompression table in which no-stop time underwater is calculated. [1] The RDP was developed by DSAT and was the first dive table developed exclusively for no-stop recreational diving. [2]
Personal dive computer display of dive profile and log data A dive profile is a description of a diver's pressure exposure over time. It may be as simple as just a depth and time pair, as in: "sixty for twenty," (a bottom time of 20 minutes at a depth of 60 feet) or as complex as a second by second graphical representation of depth and time ...
A logbook (or log book) is a record used to record states, events, or conditions applicable to complex machines or the personnel who operate them. Logbooks are commonly associated with the operation of aircraft, nuclear plants, particle accelerators, and ships (among other applications).

The log may either be in a book, locally hosted software, or web based. The log serves purposes both related to safety and personal records. Information in a log may contain the date, time and location, the profile of the dive , equipment used, air usage, above and below water conditions, including temperature, current, wind and waves, general ...
Scuba diver wearing a dry suit in a kelp forest off Point Lobos, California. The standard recreational open circuit scuba equipment includes the following items: Basic equipment, which can be used for most modes of ambient pressure diving: a diving mask for underwater vision; a snorkel to aid surface swimming; a pair of swimfins, for mobility;
Recreational decompression tables printed on plastic cards. Decompression theory is the study and modelling of the transfer of the inert gas component of breathing gases from the gas in the lungs to the tissues of the diver and back during exposure to variations in ambient pressure.
Diving physics, or the physics of underwater diving, is the basic aspects of physics which describe the effects of the underwater environment on the underwater diver and their equipment, and the effects of blending, compressing, and storing breathing gas mixtures, and supplying them for use at ambient pressure.
